Frequently asked questions

Are you tied into a contract or subscription?

No, there is no initial contract tie-in. We offer you a 30-day rolling contract. Several nurseries and preschools understand that their childcare management system is business-critical and wish to sign a fixed-term contract, so their data is protected with business continuity and have the option of a two or 3-year fixed-price contract.

Pricing – What are the options?

Flexible plans with options to fit every nursery and preschool needs. Nursery in a Box offers three software plans:

  • Premium
  • Professional
  • Enterprise

Check out the breakdown below to understand what each plan offers.

Do you offer a discount?

Yes, we offer a 10% discount for annual payments.

Our philosophy is that you deserve the best management software to deliver an outstanding education to our children.

How is payment taken?

Subscription payments are collected monthly or annually by direct debit. Many local authorities wish to pay annually by bacs, which is also acceptable.

Can we upgrade our plan later?

Yes, you can upgrade your plan any time through your Nursery in a Box profile. The more you use Nursery in a Box the more it will help you streamline your nursery school management.

Do you offer a Tailored plan?

Yes, our tailored plan has all the features across our whole platform. Additionally, you get the following:

  • Consultancy (Growth & Exit)
  • Dedicated Account Manager
  • In-Person Team Training
  • Simple Group Onboarding
  • White Label Branding

With experience in owning, managing and franchising a group of nurseries, we have over 20 years of experience in childcare and are always happy to help find a solution that works for you.

What nursery & preschool leaders say about us…

Early Learners Nurseries
Hayden McCann
Early Learners Nurseries

On average, the software saves me around £4,000 per month in secretarial and administrative costs across the sites – and that’s before I’ve accounted for the reduction in paper and ink cartridges.
Manor Day Nurseries
Simon Capper
Manor Day Nurseries

We felt like we were just a small fish to the large corporate firm we were with, so we started to look around for an alternative and came upon Nursery in a Box. Our initial conversations with founders Dave and Milesh made us feel confident in moving to their system and we’ve not looked back.
Busy Little Bees Nurseries
Jackie Davis
Busy Little Bees

Across three settings, we probably had a monthly ink and paper bill of around £150 to £200 per site. With Nursery in a Box, that cost was gone overnight as everything is contained within the new software.
Little Learners Day Care
Elaine Burnett
Little Learners

I got in contact and spoke with the founder Dave Elebert, and after the initial conversation plus a trial I decided it was the way to go. We’ve not looked back. Nursery in a Box is user friendly, makes sense and most importantly I can speak to the team there.
Tynemouth Nursery Group
Rob Kilby
Tynemouth Nursery Group

Nursery in a Box ticks all the boxes for us. Everyone in the team uses it in some way and the parents do too. If I was to put a figure on it – I would say it saves us the equivalent of 2 or 3 admin salaries across the group. It lets our staff get on with what they love – caring for the children. Nursery in a Box most definitely pays for itself.
Tynemouth Nursery Group
Elaine Wright
Tynemouth Nursery at Billy Mill

Great company always happy to help with any question and always updating the program to make it better, our parents love the online diary’s and pictures we send daily.
