"It is the peace of mind that matters most. If I have an important day at work and my daughter's current childcare arrangement falls through, I know that I can rely on Emergency Childcare."
"This brilliant service has allowed me to ensure my son enjoys top-quality childcare at short notice. This means I can save my annual leave and use them for what they were intended, holidays."
Mark booked a nursery
"Without this facility I would have had to take the day off work - it is excellent. This allows a worker to meet their employee requirements and meet their parental duties - a juggling act that is often difficult to do."
Maria booked a nursery
"I am very impressed indeed with this service. In this day and age we deal with a multitude of suppliers and online services and it often more of a hindrance than a help. The service provided is absolutely superb. Whether on the internet or on the phone it is quick, easy and hassle free. No complaints at all."
Matthew booked a nursery
"Quick efficient service with staff who are polite and understanding. The expert resolved my issue by booking a nursery for me within 5 minutes. The service is without doubt excellent and has helped me on the odd emergency and through a very stressful situation."
Rakhee booked a nursery
"A real lifesaver. We were panicking when we couldn't find anyone to look after our son. This really helped us out. We visited the nursery the day before and felt completely confident leaving our 8 month old there."
Alison booked a nursery
"It's peace of mind for those few occasions when your regular childcare is unavailable, and you would much rather use your day's holiday for a planned event. It felt almost 'too' easy, but the whole arrangement worked extremely smoothly."
