Frequently asked questions

Everything nurseries usually ask before they send us a first enquiry.

Does iNursery cost anything?+

No. Nurseries pay us nothing at any stage. Suppliers and software vendors pay a referral fee when a setting chooses to work with them, which is what funds the service.

How do you stay independent?+

We are not resellers and we never work on exclusivity. If the tool you already use is the right fit, we will tell you to keep it — and we will say so in writing.

How long does a match take?+

We reply to every enquiry within one working day. A shortlist usually follows within two to three working days, depending on how many categories you want reviewed.

What do you need from me to start?+

Your setting size, the categories you want reviewed and a rough idea of current spend. Recent bills or invoices help, but they are not essential for a first conversation.

Which categories do you cover?+

Nursery management software, payroll and HR, safeguarding, parent communications, accounting and bookings — plus energy, insurance, food supply, waste, telecoms and cleaning.

Will I get cold-called by suppliers?+

Only if you ask us to make an introduction. We never pass your details to a supplier without your explicit go-ahead for that specific introduction.

Do you work with nursery groups?+

Yes. Single settings and multi-site groups both work well — for groups we look at consolidated contracts and per-site variance in the same review.

Can you help if we are mid-contract?+

Yes. We note renewal dates and come back at the right moment, so you are not paying an early exit fee to make a saving.
