Frequently asked questions
Is Crechely really free for childcare providers?▾
Yes. Every provider — creche, preschool, Montessori, afterschool, single location or group — gets a free listing, digital waiting list, parent alerts, tour bookings and compliance score forever. No card, no trial countdown, no paid tiers.
Do parents have to pay to contact a service?▾
No. Parents are never charged to join a waiting list, accept a spot or contact a provider. Plus and Premium just remove the free-account limits.
What's the difference between Plus and Premium?▾
Plus (€4.99/mo) lets you join up to 10 waiting lists and add 2 children. Premium (€9.99/mo) is unlimited waiting lists, up to 4 children, tour bookings, and side-by-side comparison.
Can I contact childminders and nannies on the Free plan?▾
You can browse every childminder and nanny profile and post a public request for free. To unlock direct contact details and see full responses from childminders and nannies, you need Plus or Premium. Childminders and nannies list on Crechely for free.
Is Crechely free for childminders and nannies?▾
Yes. Registering as a childminder or nanny, building your public profile, receiving parent requests and responding to them is completely free — forever.

Activity providers have two choices. Option 1: use Crechely's built-in booking and keep 90% of every booking (Crechely keeps 10%). Option 2: list your activities for free and send parents to your own website or booking system — fully free, no commission.
