Premium building planning bundle
Check the building, capacity and cost of delivery together
This bundle gives you access to two premium nursery planning tools. Use the Space / Capacity Calculator to estimate how many children a building may support, then use the Cost of Delivery Calculator to test whether the running costs, staffing assumptions and fee model still look workable.
Capacity planning
Estimate child numbers from room sizes and age groups.
Building decisions
Sense-check whether a property is worth exploring further.
Cost pressure
Review hourly delivery cost, funding pressure and margins.
Two connected tools
A nursery building is not just about size
A property can look attractive online, but the real question is whether the usable child space, age mix, staffing pressure, rent and running costs still create a sensible nursery model. This bundle helps you test those questions before you get too attached to a building or commit money too early.

Best use
A good building still needs a workable financial model
A nursery property can look promising, but it still needs the right usable space, practical layout, realistic staffing plan and a cost structure that works. This bundle is useful when you want to test a building properly before moving too far.
Before booking a viewing
When reviewing floor plans
Before negotiating rent
When comparing properties
Useful before you commit money
This bundle is not there to tell you a building is definitely suitable. It is there to help you ask better questions before you spend money on plans, surveys, legal fees or rent commitments.
Use it as a planning tool alongside proper due diligence, Ofsted requirements, planning checks, lease advice and professional support where needed.
