A little more information...
Convenient access to quality childcare

Our highly trained nannies and childminders are fully DBS/PVG checked and have had First Aid training*.

As well as being regulated by Ofsted and other appropriate regulatory bodies, the majority of our nurseries and childminders have been used and recommended by individual parents. * When you book with us you'll have the opportunity to discuss all our quality standards.

When do parents use the service?

Childcare can be booked for whenever you need - today, tomorrow or in 3 months' time (on a day-at-a-time basis).

Here are just a few examples of when parents use us:

  • Their usual nursery is closed for the day
  • Their permanent nanny is off sick
  • Their childminder is going to be on holiday
  • The school has (another!) inset day
  • They want some time for themselves.*

* That's right - it doesn’t just have to be an 'emergency'. Members can book childcare with us whenever they want, for whatever reason.

Getting in touch

Choosing childcare is an emotional and complex decision. We pride ourselves on always being on hand to answer any questions or concerns parents may have.

If you have a question, please get in touch with our team on support@emergencychildcare.co.uk or 0345 241 5307.

We're available 7:00am to 7:00pm, Monday to Friday.
