Private nurseries in India

Updated 31 October 2026

A private nursery in India usually charges between ₹1,50,000 and ₹2,00,000 a year, and one school quoted in the search results works out at nearly ₹3,50,000 to ₹4,00,000 a year. These figures are approximate, according to sellers' websites, October 2026, and usually exclude extra charges. To get fees for your child's age and area, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the fee covers

The reported figures usually leave out extras, so ask for a full list before you compare. One school quotes its fee per quarter, so compare nurseries over the same period, for example a full year, rather than one month against another. Ask whether books, meals, uniform and transport are included, and whether the programme is a half day or a full day.

Rules and what to check

A search result states that preschool education in India is unregulated and that no government licence is needed to open a preschool. A daycare business, however, is typically expected to have staff trained in first aid and CPR, police verification for staff, and a trade licence. Ask the nursery to show these papers before you pay the first fee.

Season and the school year

The climate in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai is tropical: hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. Ask how the nursery handles rainy days and pick-up in heavy rain, and how it keeps children cool in the hot months, because these change the daily routine. Ask for intake dates for the new term, so you do not miss a place.

What to write in your request

Give your child's age, the district you live in, the programme you want, full day or half day, the start date, the group size you prefer, any special needs and your monthly or yearly budget. Travel across these big cities can take a long time, so the district matters as much as the fee. Ask for the group size and the daily schedule in writing, since both change the care your child gets and what you pay.
