Our method

We read ECDA’s Anchor Operator and Partner Operator scheme pages and record each cap with its source, period and checked date. These are the most a centre in each scheme can charge, not what you will pay. We never list or rank individual centres.

Every source we read

These are the most a centre in each scheme can charge, not what you will pay. Your fee depends on the centre and your subsidy. Check with ECDA and the centre before you enrol.
