Nest Learn pricing

Simple pricing, per home

One monthly price for each home covers everyone who works there, with no tokens, credits or per-learner fees. Pay month to month, or take a 12-month plan and pay less.

Plans

Solo provision

For children's homes registered for one child. Solo homes run with smaller teams, so they pay less.

No tokens, no credits

Priced per home, not per learner or per course

Many training platforms charge per learner or per course, often through tokens or credits you buy in advance. The bill then moves every time someone joins, leaves or needs a refresher. With Nest Learn you pay the same each month for each home, however many people train and however many courses they take.

Per-learner and token pricing

A bill that moves every month

Monthly bill over a year

  • Tokens or credits bought up front, then spent course by course
  • Every new starter adds a seat or uses up more tokens
  • Refreshers and renewals cost again
  • Credits can run out mid-month or expire unused
  • Hard to budget for when staff turnover is high

Nest Learn

The same price every month

Monthly bill over a year

  • One price for each home, the same every month
  • Staff joining or leaving doesn't change your bill
  • Refreshers and renewals at no extra cost
  • Every course in the online catalogue, for everyone in the home
  • Nothing to count, top up or run out of

Common questions

Pricing questions

Do you charge per learner or per course?

No. There are no per-learner fees, course tokens or credits, and no limit on staff numbers. You pay one monthly price for each home, and everyone who works there can take any course in the online catalogue. Bank staff are covered by the Bank Pool add-on.

What happens to the price when staff join or leave?

Nothing. New starters and leavers don't change your bill, because you pay for the home rather than the people in it.

Do refreshers and renewals cost extra?

No. When training expires and someone needs to retake a course, there is nothing extra to pay.

What counts as a solo home?

A children's home registered with Ofsted to look after one child, often called a solo provision. Homes registered for two or more children are on the Home price.

How does the 12-month plan work?

You commit for 12 months and pay monthly at the lower rate. Monthly rolling costs more, and you can cancel it with one month's notice.

Can we mix homes and solo homes?

Yes. Each home is priced on its own, so a provider with three homes and one solo home pays for three homes and one solo home: £284 a month on a 12-month plan. The calculator works it out for you.

What is the Bank Pool?

Bank staff who are not attached to one home sit in a pool that covers your whole provider. One flat fee of £39 a month covers all of them, however many you have.

Do your prices include VAT?

We are not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add to these prices.

We run six or more homes. What do we pay?

Providers with six or more homes get volume pricing. Talk to us and we will quote for your group.

What does bespoke induction include?

We build an online course from the induction you already run, such as your handbook, policies and checklists. Only your provider can see it, and it can sit alongside core courses in a Learning Path. It costs £399, paid once. More about bespoke induction.
