Stop losing parents to confusing fee sheets
NurseryCalc is a dead-simple WordPress plugin that shows parents exactly what they’ll pay after government funding — in a few taps. No fuss, no jargon, just a clear number.
Parents are baffled.
You're answering the same calls every week.
The impossible fee sheet
A PDF table buried on your website. Three age groups, four session types, two funding tiers. Parents give up and ring you instead.
“How much will it cost us?”
Your team spends hours every week answering this question on the phone. It's a question a calculator answers in 30 seconds.
Parents go to the nursery down the road
If parents can't quickly understand your costs, they'll enquire somewhere that makes it simple. Clarity wins enrolments.
How it works
NurseryCalc guides parents through six simple questions and gives them a clear weekly cost — no phone call needed.

Install the plugin
Upload to WordPress, activate, enter your rates in the admin panel, embed the shortcode. Done in 5 minutes — no code needed.
