What working parents and carers say...

"The nanny was fantastic - there was an almost Mary Poppins quality about her! I felt extremely confident in leaving my children with her and they were instantly settled with her. This my third year of using Emergency Childcare and I have always been masively impressed by quality of service on all levels."

"It's brilliant and probably one of the most important benefits to me as a working mum. I can plan when I need to work during school holidays in the knowledge my daughter is being cared for by local childcare."

"From the booking to receiving help itself the whole process was easy and reduced stress.

Communication was proactive and I saw ultimate flexibility as I requested and extra day of help with just a few hours notice.

My son was ill and could not attend his normal nursery. At the same time I had some critical work commitments, the service allowed me to quickly get a nanny to my home and confidently leave him in the care of a professional. The nanny fit right in to our structure at home and enabled me to attend to my work knowing that my son was receiving quality 1:1 care. It was an absolute lifesaver!"

"Barracudas offers complete peace of mind for parents at work, knowing that your child is safe and secure and having a fabulous time as well!"

"Fantasic service you can reply on, with high standards. Nanny's are fully qualified and ensure your child has a fun filled day in your absence. Really easy and convienient to book last minute or in advance. Highly recommended."

"This benefit gives total peace of mind and enables me to do my job without the worry of where my son is. The clubs available are excellent and the added benefit of the club running at my place of work with an early drop off service did not impact my day in any way. An excellent benefit."
