What our parents say...
We judge ourselves by the feedback we receive from you
"This service takes the stress out of finding temporary childcare. You know that the agencies they use will have suitable and checked candidates."
"This is one of the benefits I rave about to my colleagues with children. I don't have to panic if the school is going to be closed because of snow or any other emergency as I can call up and get access to childcare. Would completely recommend this service."
"Friendly and reliable service that gives me peace of mind that when emergency circumstances arise and our normal childcare arrangements change my son is still taken care of to a very high standard."
"An excellent service that quickly arranges good, reliable childcare in an emergency... It allows you to chose a good Childcare Provider from a selection available in your local area."
"My 18 month old daughter was unwell and not able to go to nursery. I rang the Emergency Childcare line and they sent over a lovely nanny to look after her. When our nanny arrived, she was confident and cheerful and there were no problems settling in. When we arrived home, my daughter was bathed and in a very happy mood."
"Fast, courteous service. My experience of the available nannies has been that they are first rate. The service has provided an important safety net for my wife and I to deal with our occasional childcare emergencies."
"Without this service I would use my entire holiday entitlement to cover half term holidays, school inset days and child sick days. Now that I am used to this safety net I could not live without it."
