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."
"Having access to high quality childcare and not having to worry about what to do when our childcare option fell away was a huge relief and allowed me to get on with my work."
"The Emergency Childcare is an excellent option to fall back on - when nursery or childcare provider is not available. It is most valued by us, as we don't have any family living nearby in London."
"The service is fantastic and allows me to carry on working when my usual childcare arrangements fail. In this case my 18m old little girl's Granny was ill and couldn't look after her at the last minute. Work+Family Space took care of everything behind the scenes and made the process very easy for me. I may have had to take unplanned time off work to look after her if the service wasn't available."
"The service reduces the stress and pressures of emergency childcare situations and, once you've used it once, you will have complete confidence in using it again as the childcare providers are very professional."
"I have praised in several occasions the back-up care. Normally the school provides very good coverage, but around Christmas and for inset days I am struggling to trust someone to look after my son. This childminder was the best thing that could happen to me in the holiday season."
"Having the benefit that Work+Family Space provide through our employers is hugely important. Those sessions are invaluable. I have two children and the school holidays are approximately 70 days per year. My husband gets 20 holidays and I get 26 so between us that is 46 days holiday that we take separately. On top of this we then have to cover the rest somehow. This benefit really helps."
