Sibling discount at nurseries - how common?

Pregnant with #2. Eldest at nursery. They charge full price for both - really? Anyone got a sibling discount?

Worth asking explicitly. Many nurseries have 10-15% sibling discount, not advertised.

Our chain (Bright Horizons) gave 10%. Smaller ones rarely.

Negotiate at renewal time - 'we're considering moving both kids elsewhere' tends to focus minds.

We split kids between nurseries to get tax-free childcare optimisation. Worth a chat with accountant.
