Childcare Discounts

We understand that the Cost of Living in London is high. Too high for many. We offer so many childcare discounts and subsidy programmes here at Hatching Dragons. Our families can secure upwards of 50% off in many instances just by thinking intelligently about how to leverage and layer your benefits to your fee package with us. From Workplace Nursery Schemes through to uncapped referral discounts of 5% for each family you recommend; from public sector discounts of up to 50% to low income household places that are ring-fenced for those on income support, we have something for everyone.
