safe and secure
When a parent has found a childcare provider they would like to explore further, the childcare.co.uk secure private messaging system is used to ask questions and to request more information. Parents and childcare providers need not give out any personal contact information including their email address until they choose to do so.
rate and review
All childcare providers can be rated and reviewed by parents. Parents choose whether their experience was positive, neutral or negative. Childcare providers start with a rating score of zero and gain one point for a positive parental experience and lose one point for a negative experience.
In addition to the rating scores, parents can write their own custom written review of their experience. Childcare providers have the opportunity to respond to their reviews. All reviews and responses are displayed on the website to help other parents decide which childcare provider is most suitable for their needs.
