What working parents and carers say...

"Gives you peace of mind at a stressful time. Many people now have eldercare responsibilities and this really helped after my mother's operation, especially as she is now on her own. Without this help we would have had to take some time off work - so hugely appreciated."

"I thought I would have had to take the day off unpaid to care for my daughter until my colleague recommended Emergency Childcare. I now feel confident in the future if I experience a gap in childcare again to use this service. It was fantastic."

"I would definitely use this service again. It took a lot of pressure off wondering whether I would be able to get to work or have to take a day off (days off are precious as the school half term was looming). As soon as a teacher's strike was confirmed by the head teacher from my son's school, I contacted the emergency service and filled in the forms online and got confirmation that I had cover for that day. Thank you!"

"Backup Adult & Eldercare has proved to be an extremely valuable benefit for my relative, the family, and myself. Whilst we all hope that we will be able to provide individual care for our relatives as they get old and become limited by sickness, the backup provided by this benefit have been invaluable. There are times when I simply cannot be there to perform these tasks and being registered with the service in advance allowed a friendly familiar face to take my place. Without this backup my Father In Law would find it much harder to remain living in his marital home after his wife died."

"Emergency Childcare is wonderful, and because I am able to book with the nursery my daughter already attends I know that she will be happy and content from the moment she arrives.

Sometimes you find that services such as this are great in theory but painful in practice needing countless forms and phone calls; the experience with Work+Family Space is easy, straightforward and stress free.

I know the people at Work+Family Space are available when I need them and that they will always do their best to find a solution; they have helped to relieve countless stresses and worries for me and my family!"

"Emergency Childcare saved the day! We were stuck up until a day before and without the service would have been financially worse off. We are now thinking of taking a couple of days off for some mummy and daddy time and use the service!"
