What working parents and carers say...

"Finding childcare at short notice is usually so difficult or impossible to organise in time, and can be very costly.

This benefit offers real peace of mind that childcare will be arranged by an efficient and courteous team within the time required; your children will be looked after by trained and checked professionals; and without adversely effecting your pocket.

All seamless, even over the Bank Holiday weekend where I received a phonecall from a senior member of staff to ensure everything went through in time."

"My reserved 5-year old son was made to feel extremely welcome on arrival, his shyness was dealt with sensitively and soon dispersed - and he came back from his first day eager to start the next; indeed I was told off for picking him up before some of the other children! The whole week was action-packed and varied. Booking it was pain-free, he loved it and can't wait to go back next time - all-round, excellent."

"On the first day my son was dragging his heals going to the sport summer camp and very reluctant to go, all day while at work I worried about him. I spoke to my son as soon as the camp finished and the first thing he said was I am definitely going back tomorrow. He absolutely loved it and it took away all the worry and stress of me trying to find someone to look after my children on my work day. The staff at the camp were very friendly, enthusiastic and welcoming."

"The service was excellent and enabled me to attend a meeting in London with the knowledge I did not have to be back until 6pm to pick up my children. August is such a difficult time to find last minute childcare with so many family/friends being away etc so it was very helpful that Work+Family Space could take away the worry."

"I can't believe how simple the whole process was. As soon as I knew my childminder wasn't available, there was a plan in place. I didn't have to put upon friends or family or take a valuable holiday day. It was a real weight off my mind.

I've worked for various companies that hark on about work/life/family balance. This is the first company that has put thier money where their mouth is and provided a tool that provides a real solution to childcare issues."

"Emergency Childcare completely removes the stress of having to either find someone whom you can trust to look after your child, or having to take time off work unexpectedly.

The nursery that we regularly use for our daughter wasn't on the list, however it was a simple process to have them added."
