Everything included in Basic
Stages 4 Ages for your parents
There are two ways to bring Stages 4 Ages to your families. Here's the difference.
Basic Parent Hub access
Parents can use Stages 4 Ages at no cost. They sign themselves up for a free account, or you can ask us to add them manually.
Basic access does not include the nursery Manager Dashboard, private community space or the nursery-exclusive benefits of the Nursery Add-on.
Stages 4 Ages Nursery Add-on
While your add-on is active, the parents connected to your nursery get free access through you.
- A Stages 4 Ages Manager Dashboard
- Easily manage which parents are connected to your nursery
- Your own nursery-specific private community space
- Free courses and resources made available to your parents
- Additional nursery-exclusive parent content and benefits
- Simpler parent access management
Optional for parents: families connected through your nursery can upgrade to full paid Stages 4 Ages membership for £5.99/month instead of £7.99/month. There's no need to upgrade — their nursery access stays free.
