Who can join?
Anyone who advises nurseries for a living: consultants, trainers, accountants and business advisers. Serving Ofsted inspectors and local authority staff who influence inspection, funding or suppliers cannot join, and a nursery's own staff cannot earn on their own organisation.
When am I paid?
Each payment's commission becomes payable 60 days after we collect it. We pay quarterly, by the 15th of the month after each quarter ends, once at least £50 is due. Smaller amounts roll over.
What if a nursery cancels or is refunded?
You keep commission on what they actually paid. Refunds and chargebacks reverse the commission they relate to, and we take any reversal off your next payment.
Do I have to tell nurseries I am paid?
Yes, before you recommend us. For example: “Ad: I receive commission if you subscribe through my link or code.” It is in your kit, ready to copy.
What will I see about the nurseries I refer?
Each setting's name, its subscription status and your commission. Nothing else about the nursery.
What about VAT?
We don't charge VAT on our prices. If you are VAT-registered, we pay VAT on top of your commission under a self-billing agreement and issue the invoices for you.
Is there a catch?
Only paperwork. Ours, not yours.
