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."
"SHC gave my kids the opportunity to experience an outstanding camp which we would not have heard of had it not been for the postcode search facility on the website. All staff involved were extremely helpful and the entire process was quick, efficient and simple."
"I have used the emergency nanny service I think three times now. Each time my children have immediately responded postively to the nanny and settled down in her care. Yesterday they had obviously a really good day and were very happy when I got home. Having access to this service enables me to continue working when I would otherwise need to take time off - often at times where that would be a real problem. The ease and speed with which emergency care is arranged removes an enormous amount of stress."
"Keeping kids busy and entertained during school holidays.
A range of new learning activities available (e.g. tennis lessons, swimming, hand craft)."

"I was so impressed with Emergency Childcare that I have been recommending it to all work colleagues that will listen. I registered one morning and had an emergency nanny at my house that afternoon - this enabled me to get the work done that I needed to do, and gave me total peace of mind. It was such a huge weight off my shoulders and I will definitely use the service again!"
"Easy to book. Good variety of providers. You are able to add providers that aren't currently registered."
"Fast and effective service - it's never ideal to have a stranger look after your child but this is a good option when you are stuck. Once you use the service once, you can ask for the same person and get to know your regular backup care option. "
