Automate your funding hours
Funding features
Funding Hours & Revenue
Track and manage your funding hours by revenue, age, week, term, month or by year so you never miss any. See funding reports and insights by age or revenue. See funding % for your nursery so you can maximise consumable and additional service charges. Funding hours are clearly displayed and itemised on your invoice to meet local authority requirements.
Automate Funding Hours & shortfalls
Automatically apply funding to your children’s booking patterns either individually or in bulk quickly and easily and take the stress away from applying your funded hours. The funding received from the local authority in most cases does not cover the full cost of childcare so you can charge a suitable amount accordingly.
Tax-free childcare
Track and manage tax-free childcare (TFC) payments simply and easily. Show tax free childcare payments clearly on the Parent Admin app with parents able to update HMRC funding codes easily.

What nursery & preschool leaders say about us…
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.
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.
