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.
