Directory prominence is never for sale — placement follows accreditation status only, so the directory stays worth a parent's trust. Provider services are a separate bolt-on, priced separately.

How membership works

From sign-up to the mark, in three steps

1

Apply

Ten minutes. We confirm scope and size, and quote your founding rate within two working days.

2

Self-assess, then be observed

The library and self-assessment unlock immediately; you book observation when you're ready.

3

Carry the mark, use the machine

Directory priority, hiring access, badges, awards — renewed annually with a re-observation cycle that keeps it honest.

Founding member application

A transaction, not a capture — this application goes to the membership team, who reply with your quote within two working days.

Before you join

The questions that stop a sign-up, answered plainly

What does it cost?

Annual membership sized by provider (children served per season), plus an observation fee per accreditation cycle. Founding cohort providers lock the founding rate. Exact numbers come with your quote — no surprises after.

Can I cancel?

Yes — membership is annual and you can choose not to renew. The mark and directory priority lapse with it; your Registered listing and the free Network stay free.

Does the free Network stay free?

Always. The comparison above is the honest one: the free tier is real, and the paid tier is for providers who want the mark and the machine behind it.

What if we're not ready for observation?

Then don't book it yet. Membership unlocks the library and self-assessment first — most founding members spend a season closing gaps before their first observation.
