What working parents and carers say...

"I can't praise this service enough I really don't know how I would have coped without this support. The people on the phone are so nice and seem to know who you are straight away. Marvellous! Extremely high standard of care provided - nothing is too much trouble."

"Having access to this service give me peace of mind that my father's needs are being looked after. He had to have a shoulder replacement due to a fall consequently lost mobility and strength in his arm. The care received ensures his house is kept clean, the bed is regularly changed and all the ironing is done. "

"This is an exceptional benefit which has really helped my work life balance out as my wife has two chronic illnesses. The service allows employees to put care provisions in place that otherwise may have enforced absence from the work place."

"The childcare booking process is very well thought off and is very easy to use; the workflow does not require any follow up or reminders and I was informed of progress of booking in timely manner.

The child minder was very professional and my children felt very comfortable her place. My children did different activities on each day and proudly showed them to me in evening; on Halloween day, they prepared costume and pumpkin. My son who normally hates doing homework regularly did his homework at the child minder. I will highly recommend the child minder to my friends.

The helpdesk of Work+Family Space service were very helpful in answering questions; I got an impression that they very well understood concerns of a parent looking for child care for children."

"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."

"I am an advocate of this benefit through work - I feel that people do not understand the in's and outs of what is available for them and many people are taking time off work when this facility is available - I would have been stuck without this service and had to take take time off work at a point in the job where I was needed. The importance of having this to me is second to none and I would love to promote this service within the business to try and increase use."
