What working parents and carers say...

"I realised that I didn't have childcare for Monday and Tuesday, and work commitments that I really needed to fulfil. A quick search of my employer's policies found this Emergency Childcare service. I spoke to a very friendly man who pointed me in the direction of the website. I was able to register, search for a childminder and talk to that childminder immediately and know that there would be a safe place to leave my Daughter. This was a huge relief and prevented me taking 2 days off work."

"This excellent service took all the hassle out of trying to find care for my elderly mother when she was discharged from hospital. It took a great weight off my mind knowing that she was being cared for when I was at work. I found Backup Adult & Eldercare to be a very valuable service and helped relieve some of the stress."

"A speedy and efficient booking service, meant that I did not need to worry and was able to leave my young son at a local nursery, safe in the knowledge that he was happy. Whilst I was able to fulfill my work requirements. Overall it could not have been easier."

"Backup Adult & Eldercare allows me to do my job knowing that my parents are not suffering or feeling neglected. My parents do not live close to me and the only time I can see them is at weekends. However due to the nature of my job, it extremly busy and demanding. Weekends are precious in order to catch up with the regular jobs that need to be done. This leaves me very little or no time to attend to my parents. This is an excellent benefit and additionally my parents have had a lot of worry taken away from them which if not removed would most certainly affect their health further - Thank You."

"I was slightly apprehensive at first, as my son has specific dietary requirements, however the childminder set my mind at rest with my initial visit, and my son came back really happy, I will definitely use the service again."

"In the first place I felt confident about the nurseries in the list because I was sure there was a selection process; there is a link to the Ofsted repor that makes easier to double check the quality of the nursery; there is huge number of nurseries and sometime it is very difficult to choose, this service helps you as well to restrict your area of search and offer the possibility to find a long term nursery for your child."
