How a creche or aftercare works

  • Lesson 1 of 24
  • 5 min read
  • Free lesson

Parents pay a monthly fee and you care for their children for set hours: a full day for little ones, or after school until parents finish work.

What parents need

  • Safe care they can trust.
  • Reliable hours that match their work.
  • Meals or snacks, play and some learning or homework help.

The steps to your first group

  1. Make your space safe and child-friendly.
  2. Decide on ages, hours and fees.
  3. Start with a small group of six or fewer.
  4. Begin registration before you grow past six children.

A good sign: parents recommend you to other parents.

Do it now

Tick it off when it is done. Your ticks are saved on this device.

Quick check

Pick an answer to see how you did.

In a typical case, how long until the first money comes in?

Your challenge

Check it before you spend

Ask 15 parents near you what they pay now and what they wish was different.

You are done when:

  • You wrote down what you found
  • You know whether to carry on or adjust

You report this yourself. Nobody checks, so it only counts if you really did it.
