Work with Jane
I work with independent nursery owners on the business behind their nursery, helping them understand their numbers, make confident decisions and build a business that works for them.
No two nurseries are the same, and neither are the challenges their owners face. Some need help with a particular issue, others want to review how their business is operating, and some value having someone alongside them for ongoing support.
Recent work has included…
- Helping nursery owners understand their finances, giving them the clarity to make informed decisions and see the impact those decisions could have on their business.
- Working with owners on exit strategies, including how to prepare for a sale and maximise the potential value of their nursery.
- Carrying out business audits to help owners understand their costs, review their fees and assess the sustainability of their funding and business models.
- Supporting owners with profitable funding models and nursery fee reviews.
- Visiting nurseries to work with management teams on managing occupancy, understanding funding, identity and USP, management systems and staff deployment.
Support that works for you
Some clients book an occasional Power Hour to talk through a particular challenge or get a fresh perspective. Others work with me on a specific project, such as a business audit, fee review or funding model.
And for owners who value having someone alongside them over the longer term, I offer regular coaching and ad-hoc sounding-board sessions, a space to talk things through, explore options and make confident decisions.
However you choose to work with me, the support is tailored to you, your nursery and what you want to achieve.
Services
1;1 Coaching Programme
£350 per month | Three months of dedicated support
Need Jane in your corner?
Sometimes you just need a bit of space to step back from the day-to-day and think about your nursery business with someone who understands.
Over three months, we’ll take an in-depth look at your setting, talk through the challenges you’re facing and work out practical steps to help you run your business more effectively or move it forward.
You’ll have two one-hour Teams calls with me each month, with support and advice tailored to you and your nursery.
Wondering whether coaching is right for you? Let’s talk it through
Initial Business Audit
£795 | One setting
Not sure what’s really going on in your nursery business?
My Initial Business Audit gives you the opportunity to take a proper look beneath the surface and understand what’s working, what might need attention and where there’s potential to improve.
I’ll spend five hours reviewing your business remotely, including an initial 30-minute Zoom call, analysis of your costs, staffing, occupancy, fees and funding, followed by a 30-minute Teams call to talk through my findings and identify areas to address.
Additional hours are available at £165 per hour. If you have more than one setting, I can provide an individual quote.
On-site Support or Training
£595 | 3 hour session
Sometimes it helps to have me there in person.
Dependent on location, I can visit your setting to work with you, your management team or your staff, offering support or tailored training to meet your needs.
Travel is charged at 50p per mile, plus consultant travel time at £10 per 30 minutes. Additional on-site hours are £165 per hour. Visits are subject to location.
PowerHour
£195 | Online Call
Sometimes you just need Jane for an hour!
A one-off Teams call to pick my brains, talk through a particular challenge or get a fresh perspective on something that’s been on your mind.
Bring your questions, ideas or worries, and we’ll use the time to explore your options, work through the issue and help you decide what to do next.
Individual Support
£395 (2.5 hours) | Additional Hours £165
Sometimes you don’t need a full coaching programme, just some focused support with a particular challenge or goal, such as reviewing your funding model.
We’ll start with a Zoom call to talk through your nursery, understand what’s happening and explore what you need help with. From there, I’ll suggest how we can use our remaining time most effectively. This might include working through your documents or spreadsheets, providing support materials, or developing practical solutions tailored to your setting.

Initial and full business audits
Calculating fee increases
Exploring Nursery Expansion
Funding and Fee Analysis
