Nursery Fundraising

Running a nursery or preschool isn’t without its challenges. Funding often falls short, leaving you searching for ways to bridge the gap while keeping things fun and engaging for families.

And all the time, the cost of  ‘free’ hours increases as staff costs go up and up. Nursery managers working harder to balance budgets, while still trying to create a warm and welcoming environment for the children.

Do you recognise this? Thought so.

At Smiles At School, we’re here to help your nursery or preschool find easy and effective ways to raise funds. Our services are designed to support your goals while creating valuable and memorable experiences for families.

We’ll help you raise money in ways that parents love and that make life easier for your team:

  • Family photo days: A fun and stress-free way for parents to capture precious memories and support your nursery.
  • Filming and photography of events and performances: Celebrate your little learners’ milestones while generating income through sales.
  • Branded nursery merchandise: From book bags to hats, offer parents useful items while raising funds too.
  • Gifts and more: From christmas decorations to activity books, we’ve got plenty to excite the children and generate a little more money!
