Both buttons end in the same live calendar. It appears as [Fred] Arlesdene Nursery School and Pre-School alongside your own, and because it stays linked to this page, if Arlesdene Nursery School and Pre-School moves an inset day or corrects a date it changes on your phone by itself — Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook.
The difference is what happens next. Fred sets it up on whichever calendar app you actually use — the steps are not the same on an iPhone as in Google — and then he can tell you when Arlesdene Nursery School and Pre-School moves that inset day, work out who is covering it, and take the deadlines, kit lists and payments that arrive with the term. A calendar can only sit there. Taking the link yourself is free and always will be.
