Your Emergency Backup Childcare Service

Use the search box to the right to find the local childcare you need >>
You need to register before you can make a booking.

Book local nursery and childminder places or an emergency nanny when normal arrangements break down. We have the childcare solution for you.

The charge for parents registering via this dedicated care-4 site is £40.

We are delighted to bring you this additional service, providing you with the opportunity to search for back up childcare in the form of registered nursery places, which can be paid for using your care-4 account. There is also the opportunity to search for emergency childminders and nannies through this site, which cannot be paid through your care-4 account.

Book with only 30 minutes to 2 hours notice.

You can search for childcare before registering. We recommend you register asap, then log back in when you need us. If there's a nursery or childminder you would like to see on the site, let us know and we will contact them.

If you have any questions or concerns about how the service works, please email the team on care-4@myfamilycare.co.uk or call 0845 676 7690.
