Whether a home or centre-based service is expensive, cheap, or value for money is something that every family judges differently depending upon their income, family values, and what they view to be quality for their child or not

Services differ in their charges, and sometimes there can be additional hidden costs. 

Here we give you information on what charges you might be hit with when using an early childhood service.  We also let you know what grants early childhood services can get from the government and how much they can receive directly for caring for your child per hour.
