Nursery World - Management Focus

There's money out there that nurseries could get their hands on with a service that helps them track it down. Karen Faux reports.

With nurseries under pressure to pursue new areas of funding, the consultancy and software company Pebble believes it can be of practical assistance. Its School Fund Finder is a paid-for, subscriber web service providing up-to-the-minute information about grants, funding and any free resources from businesses, organisations, foundations and trusts.

Julia Sharman, senior relationship co-ordinator, describes the company as a small family business that has been supporting nurseries and schools for 16 years. A year's subscription to its School Fund Finder will cost a nursery between £120 and £150 a year, depending on how many children it has on roll. The company does not take any additional fee from successful fund applications.
