Who uses it?

Parents who use Emergency Childcare fall into two categories:

• Those who need an emergency childcare solution because their childcare
  (nanny, childminder, nursery, friend etc) has broken down; or
• Those who don't necessarily have childcare, but require a flexible childcare solution without the commitment

Demand

There is currently a huge demand for emergency and flexible childcare. On average working parents are taking 9 sick days a year due to childcare problems. Lack of flexible childcare for freelances, shift workers etc means there is huge appeal for a service that can link this demand and supply.

How it works: Nurseries

Via a simple, web based admin site nurseries have the opportunity to set the prices and availability for each of their rooms. In line with the best advice from Ofsted, once a booking has been made the nursery manager will be informed immediately and sent over all of the required information via the method they choose (email or fax) as well as a text message if requested.

Prices are set by the nursery at whatever level they feel is appropriate and Emergency Childcare takes a percentage of the booking fee. It's completely up to you!

The child's care

Obviously this is paramount. To help minimise distress, after parents register we recommend that they visit a number of their local nurseries prior to their first booking so that they (and their child) are familiar with the nursery and have an opportunity to meet the manager to discuss their child's requirements further.

It is important to stress that of all the nursery bookings we have taken so far the system has worked very well.
