Calculation notes
- This tool treats funded hours as a simple hourly offset against the daily rate.
- It does not test eligibility, local authority rules, tax-free childcare, deposits, late fees, school-holiday clubs, or provider-specific charges.
- Use it as a budgeting estimate and check actual nursery invoices for final decisions.
