What working parents and carers say...
We judge ourselves by the feedback we receive from you
"I needed a nanny while my nanny was on holiday - the service provided was excellent and professional."
"The emergency nanny service enabled me to come into work for a client meeting which the client requested on what would usually be my day off. This enables me to provide the client with the high level of service that they should expect to receive from my employer."
"The ability to have some security for unexpected events, where you are struggling for childcare and can't afford to take a day off both in workload and monetary-wise, is a fantastic benefit. I think this should be rolled out across all companies, it really is that good!"
"It is very difficult with my son having special needs as to emergency care if we don't have a family member, but I have used this service twice now and it has been a lifesaver."
"Invaluable assistance to working parents when they are faced with unexpected circumstances whether these are illness related or unexpected change in plans."
"I don't have any family in the UK and all my local friends are working full time so essentially I don't have any backup. It's extremely stressful when my regular childcare falls through and the only option is either for me or my partner to take a day off. The emergency childcare scheme is such a great benefit and I believe more and more corporates should be thinking about incorporating this benefit."
"My wife and I have finely balanced work and family commitments, but it does not take much to disrupt them. If our permanent nanny is off, particularly at short notice, this is essential for us - otherwise, one or sometimes both of us would have their working day severely disrupted. This service is easy to use and avoids a lot of stress and disruption."
