Boundary and sources
This cover matrix works only on the booking options and hours you paste you paste. It does not judge providers, does not book places, and does not give childcare advice. The figures describe what you supplied, not what is true in the world. Confirm anything you plan to act on with your co-parent and the provider's booking office before you rely on it.
- Every figure comes from the booking options and hours you paste you paste; nothing is looked up, scraped or asserted as verified.
- Method: cost per covered hour = fee ÷ hours covered; the shortfall against the hours you need is printed at the foot
- Sample values are labelled samples — illustrative by design, not your data and not a quotation of any organisation's policy.
