Frequently asked questions
Is Crechely really free for childcare providers?▾
Yes. Every provider — nursery, preschool, Montessori, afterschool, single location or group — gets a free listing, digital waiting list, parent alerts and tour bookings, plus the full management toolkit: rooms, families and children, attendance, daily care logs, incident reports, staff records, parent messaging, announcements and an event calendar. No card, no trial countdown, no paid tiers.
Do parents have to pay to use Crechely?▾
Creating an account is free, but there is no free plan. Joining waiting lists, contacting providers and following your child's day with your nursery all need Plus or Premium. Accepting a spot is never charged.
What's the difference between Plus and Premium?▾
Plus (£4.99/mo) lets you join up to 10 waiting lists and add 2 children. Premium (£9.99/mo) is unlimited waiting lists, up to 4 children, tour bookings, and side-by-side comparison.
Can I contact childminders and nannies without a plan?▾
No. Contacting childminders and nannies, and seeing their responses, needs Plus or Premium. Childminders and nannies list on Crechely for free.
Is Crechely free for childminders and nannies?▾
Yes. Registering as a childminder or nanny, building your public profile, receiving parent requests and responding to them is completely free — forever.
What are the activity provider options?▾
Activity providers have two choices. Option 1: use Crechely's built-in booking and keep 90% of every booking (Crechely keeps 10%). Option 2: list your activities for free and send parents to your own website or booking system — fully free, no commission.
Can I cancel anytime?▾
Yes. Cancel from your dashboard at any time. You keep your paid features until the end of the current billing period, then your account stays open without paid features.
