What working parents and carers say...

"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."

"This is an amazing employee benefit - one of the most useful ones for me. This is the second year in a row that I've used this service while my nanny has been away and it's meant that I can go to work without having to take annual leave. I'm really grateful that my firm offers this benefit."

"There is a real benefit to having a service that can offer emergency care within 2 hours of making a request. For me it would be too expensive to otherwise use it therefore I feel very valued by the company."

"This was the first time my wife and I had left our son for a full day, and at 2 months old we were quite anxious about this. However the nanny that attended was extremely professional and by the time I had left the house I was feeling very much at ease. I popped home at lunch and our son was very happy, smiling lots and playing. This is an exceptional benefit that meant that I could fulfil my work commitments whilst also having the peace of mind that a professional and well qualified nanny was at home looking after our 2 month old son. I will definitely consider using this service again."
