The nursery's guide to partnering with Kinsail.

Guaranteed support, handled for you · 8 min read

Partnering with Kinsail on the workplace nursery scheme brings your setting guaranteed monthly contributions towards your costs and improvements, with the compliance and paperwork handled for you. Here's how it works.

What you receive

As a partner nursery on the workplace nursery scheme, you receive regular monthly contributions towards nursery costs on a predictable payroll cycle. You choose how to spend it on agreed improvements, from equipment and learning resources to staff training and facilities.

Guaranteed monthly contributions towards your costs and improvements, at no cost to join.

What it costs to join

Nothing. Joining the workplace nursery scheme is free for nurseries. There's nothing to pay to receive support, and no ongoing membership fee.

How the money is evidenced

You spend the contribution on agreed improvements and upload receipts. Kinsail folds this into quarterly reporting so every pound is evidenced, which keeps the arrangement robust and audit-ready.

Compliance, handled

We manage the agreements, the Ofsted analysis at onboarding, the compliance meetings and the audit trail. Your main task is choosing improvements and uploading receipts.

Visibility in the marketplace
