What working parents and carers say...

"Excellent service, very quick, courteous, communications was superb, every need is catered for. You know exactly where you stand, nothing is left to chance."

"Emergency Childcare is a fantastic service as it allows me flexibility at work. I currently work 4 days a week but occasionally I need to come into the office on my off day and this service allows me to do that with very little stress!"

"Due to sickness within our regular childcare routine we have utilised Emergency Childcare on a regular basis recently. The nursery we have been using is so wonderful we feel so at ease each and every time they attend. The setting and the staff are both wonderful and I will not hesitate to use the nursery again if our regular childcare routine has issues again. Our twins often ask for the emergency nursery by name, hoping they will be attending again. I cannot fault this service. My husband and I no longer need to make regular excuses to take time off due to childcare issues."

"Just amazing. Our childminder lost her mother and my wife was working out of town. This service was fast, friendly and totally reassuring. They found us a fantastic childminder close to home and set everything up. My wife and I are both incredibly grateful."

"I was surprised at the ability to use the service on an advanced basis (i.e. it's not just for last minute emergencies). We booked with a local childminder to cover a nursery inset day. We were able to go and meet with her in advance of the day she looked after our daughter, so she wasn't a "stranger". Hopefully we can build a relationship with her and use her again in similar circumstances, e.g. nursery holidays."

"All perfect, easy to use at a nursery my children know! My mother was ill and so one phone call was made to place the booking, emails come through to confirm the booking and it is all done usually in about 1 hour! Brilliant! "
