    A fantastic childcare solution for parents AND nurseries

     
     

    Emergency Childcare has been developed by My Family Care to match the demand of parents looking for backup childcare to the daily supply of vacant places at nurseries like yours.

    Do you...

    • Ever have spare capacity in your nursery?
    • Want to earn additional revenue by operating at better occupancy?
    • Want to offer flexible and emergency places to local parents?

    Emergency Childcare is your answer
     

     

     

    A fantastic childcare solution for parents AND nurseries

     

    Benefits to your nursery

    • Working with us is absolutely free
    • Increase revenue by occupying otherwise vacant nursery places
    • Generous subsidies are offered by many of our clients to their employees. Only by booking through the website do these parents receive all or part of their care paid for
    • You're in control of the prices and available spaces at all times - meaning you have the freedom to use the system as much or as little as you like
    • A great way to introduce local parents to you with a good chance they will go on to seek a permanent placement for their children
    • Joining us will help you remain competitive. Over 1,450 nurseries nationwide are already registered with us, including many leading chains, and smaller independents.

    Who uses it?

    Parents who use Emergency Childcare fall into 2 categories:

    1. Those who need an emergency childcare solution because their usual childcare (nanny, nursery, friend etc.) has broken down
    2. 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 full-time working parents are taking 9 sick days a year due to childcare problems. Also, lack of flexible childcare for freelancers, shift workers etc. means there is huge appeal for a service that can link this demand and supply.

    How it works for nurseries

    We work in close partnership with you to ensure that Emergency Childcare bookings take place with a minimum of disruption to the children already in your care. It's a mutually beneficial relationship that has proven to be highly popular with parents and nurseries alike.

    • You enter your availability and prices per room. We add our commission on the rates that you set
    • Parents search and book a space online or by telephone
    • We contact you to confirm you have the space available and are happy to accept the booking
    • We send you a confirmation email with the child's full details attached
    • Payment is made within the first 10 working days of the month following care
    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.

    If a child is unable to settle, we will contact the parent to arrange collection - you will still receive 50% of the original fee. This is extremely unlikely: in more than 5 years of business and with thousands of nursery hours booked, we’ve not had to remove a single child.

    Contact us for more information

    "
    Without this service I would certainly have had to have taken time off work - everyone I spoke to was so helpful it was really no trouble at all to arrange. As a parent this additional employer support is so important and much valued."
