What working parents and carers say...

"I was very relieved to be able to use Emergency Childcare after unexpected knee surgery left me on crutches for 6 weeks, a logistical impossibility with a 10 month old baby. Our nanny was excellent, professional from start to finish. My daughter absolutely loved her, she was smiling and laughing all afternoon and the nanny even managed to get her to eat some fish - amazing. I would highly recommend the service and our nanny."

"Having the nanny available for 5 hours during the day meant that my husband had an extra pair of hands to handle a sick baby. The nanny was able to take him to the park for a few hours, giving my husband a break from the baby and the opportunity to focus on work. She even offered to do some ironing!"

"The process from beginning to end has been flawless. Thank you for taking the pressure off, this has been a massive help to me and my family. I really don't know how we would have managed without this benefit."

"As the nannies are fully qualified and come via an agency, there is no need to feel worried about your child being looked after by a stranger. I was able to come to work, safe in the knowledge that my daughter was in capable hands."

"Such an efficient service which enabled me to source alternative care for my child quickly and with peace of mind that all the checks had already been performed on the childminder selected."

"I have used an emergency nanny quite a few times now when my children have been ill. The booking service is incredibly easy with quick confirmation that a nanny has been sourced which is always a huge relief. All the nannies have very quickly put our children at ease and each time the children have clearly had a good time and been very happy. Most of the nannies we have been really, really impressed with and you wish you could have them all the time!"
