Success Stories

childcare.co.uk really does work!

We've worked really hard to make childcare.co.uk successful in bringing parents and childcare providers together. Here are just a few of the latest comments we have received from our users.

 

I signed up to childcare.co.uk after my (then) childminder told me that she was stopping and I had 4 weeks to find a new one. I didn't know where to start and I came across childcare.co.uk - I signed up and within 2 days had had several people look at my profile and 3 people had contacted me. To cut a short story even shorter my daughter and I met two of the three people and decided very quickly who we would be using for childcare.

I can honestly say that I have nothing but brilliant things to say about the service childcare.co.uk provide and on the very rare occasions I've had to contact their customer service team they have always been very helpful, friendly and efficient. I HIGHLY recommend childcare.co.uk and would have NO hesitation in using them again, if I needed to.

I got lots of contacts through your website and am happy to say that I found the right childcare provider for my son. I would certainly recommend your service to friends.

Janine, Parent, Hampshire

 

I have just used your website for the first time and have found a wonderful childminder for my daughter who is deaf. I have been searching for about one year for someone with just basic sign language skills. I would recommend your site to my friends with childcare issues.

Annette, Parent, West Yorkshire

 

Wonderful! After feeling rather petrified at the prospect of not finding a nanny to look after our children so I could take on a different contract, we came across the childcare.co.uk site and saw that our options had massively increased.

We found a wonderful nanny who is well-qualified, lives locally and who the children already adore. More importantly, we could search on the site for well-suited carers local to us and received an instant response after uploading our profile.

We found our nanny in less than a week after a dozen or so responses. After weeks of trying to use agencies at a potential cost of between £400-£1200 (Argh!) with only one response from someone totally unsuitable and 7 miles away we cannot express how grateful we are to childcare.co.uk and their easy-to-use site for less than the cost of a couple of hours babysitting. Thank you.

I'd recommend childcare.co.uk to anyone - whether searching for a nanny, childcare or a babysitter or if you're a nanny looking for a position - it is, without any doubt in my mind, the very best way to find the nanny you never felt you'd find.

Love your website! It was quick & easy to register & I got loads of responses to my profile. I've now found a childminder, but will definately recommend this website to my friends. Thank you.

Beth, Parent, Essex

 

I have found your website very useful. I had a childminder for my daughter for 5 and half years and they have now retired. Using childcare.co.uk I have found a new childminder. As a single mother who works full time, finding good child care is essential. Thank you.

Carmen, Parent, Hampshire

 

Your website is fantastic! With the economy being as it is I was very nervous of not getting my spaces filled but with the help of childcare.co.uk that was not a problem. Thank you for being here and for making it so easy to use.

Fiona, Registered Childminder, Lanarkshire

 

I came upon childcare.co.uk by chance and I thank my lucky stars I did. During the last five months I have had a total of 224 parents view my profile. From these over 40 parents either contacted me or vice versa.

This website has really helped me launch my childminding business into the fast lane! I now have four wonderful children. I have childcare.co.uk to thank for that - well with a little help from me!

Recently I thought about cancelling my membership as I received so many enquiries but I have decided not to. I shall just put a brief message saying "No vacancies at Present". You never know what life has in store and having my details on this site means I am always prepared and ready to get another kiddie to care for if I need to.

Do not delay and join today. It's the best decision I made in 2009!

Melanie, Registered Childminder, Surrey

 

I am a registered child-minder and just wanted to say thanks to the childcare.co.uk web site which is so great and extremely helpful.

I would just like to say that I think this website is great! I filled two places within one week of registering with childcare.co.uk and I would like to thank you very much!

We were looking for a childminder when we came across childcare.co.uk. After placing our ad we were contacted by many childminders in a very short space of time. We found a very well qualified local childminder straight away and would highly recommend the site to anyone looking for childcare.

I found your site brilliant and found a job through it, rather than the 10 agencies I was registered with!

I would just like to say how impressed I am with the Childcare.co.uk site. It is very easy to use, unlike most of the other websites for Childminders.

I was desperate to find a childminder during the summer holidays for my 2 children. I found one easily with childcare.co.uk. My daughter is now back at school, but my son still goes to Maureen and is really happy there.

I'm really greatful that this website existed as I didn't know where to start looking. Thanks again for everything.

Alannah, Parent, East Sussex

 

Your website has really helped us find a wonderful childminder for our children to go. I just wanted to say thanks, childcare.co.uk is a great website.

I would just like to say a BIG thank you to your website :) I've found my perfect family to nanny and start in January. I will definitely recomemnd childcare.co.uk to my childcare friends.

Becky, Nanny, Staffordshire

 

I joined childcare.co.uk early this summer and received lots of enquiries within weeks. I was contacted by an agency via this site, which led to me being introduced to a lovely family and hired to start working term-times from November.

This is a great site and I recommend it highly to all my childcare working friends.

Tamsin, Nanny, Hertfordshire

 

I just want to say a big THANK YOU as I was looking for a childminder and within a day or two of posting a message I have found my perfect childminder.

Adelle, Parent, Northamptonshire

 

I found a nanny through childcare.co.uk and she is starting in January next year. I thought the website was very helpful and a good way to find local people without costing the earth. Many thanks.

Ros, Parent, Somerset

 

I am a newly registered Childminder and wanted to take the time to thank you for this wonderful website! I had no clue where to start filling my spaces and a friend recommended trying childcare.co.uk. Within 2 weeks my spaces are full and I now have the most wonderful children to care for. I am over the moon!

Thank you and I will be recomending this site to anyone who will listen!

Sarah, Registered Childminder, Cambridgeshire

 

I found childcare.co.uk to be a fantastic way to find employment. Putting my profile together was really straight forward. As well as finding full time employment I have also found a baby sitting position too. I would highly recommend using this service!

Helen, Nanny, North Yorkshire

 

Thanks everyone that has responded on here - through this great website I have found myself a wonderful nanny! Keep going the rest of you - this is proof that childcare.co.uk does work.....

Kirsty, Parent, Peterborough

 

I just want to let you know what a lovely and easy to use site this is. I'm a Childminder and have just filled one of my spaces through childcare.co.uk - They're a lovely family and I'm looking forward to getting to know their son :) so thanks again.

Margaret, Registered Childminder, Hampshire

 

I have found the most fab nanny through your website. She has accepted my job offer, we have agreed terms of employment and everything is looking good for the future. Many thanks.

Claire, Parent, Surrey

 

I have found a wonderful au pair so please could you cancel my listing. Once again many thanks for your wonderful service.

Ivan, Parent, Northampton

 

Thank you for your help. Your site has been very helpful and I'll certainly recommend you to friends in the future.

Emma, Parent, Berkshire

 

I was looking for a nanny job and registered with three or four agencies. They hardly ever got in touch or returned my calls. When they did they passed on ridiculous jobs that were obviously not right for me. I came across childcare.co.uk and added a free profile. Within a week I found an amazing job with the best family ever!

Becky, Nanny, Yorkshire

 

I'd like to say a big thank you as I've found a wonderful family to work for so no longer need my profile to be live. I won't hesitate to recommend you - thanks again.

Gemma, Nanny, Surrey

 

I am just writing to say THANK YOU for helping me to find proper employment at last! Many thanks for making it so easy!

Sarah, Nanny, Aylesbury

 

Just to say thanks. I needed an Professional childminder for my little boy at the weekend - (on some saturdays) and found the childcare.co.uk website easy to use. I have found a suitable person through the site and this has enabled me to go to work feeling content that my little one will be well taken care of.

Katie, Parent, Cornwall

 

I found childcare.co.uk through a Google search. I instantly loved the website as it was user friendly, bright and informative. I had no trouble putting together a profile for parents to see, and soon enough was receiving messagers from parents enquiring about the care I could offer.

Thanks very much childcare.co.uk you really helped me out.

Lisa, Nanny, Durham

 

As a newly registered childminder, I didn't really know where to start to look to try and fill all my spaces.

I put some cards in the windows of local shops and asked around locally which eventually filled a couple of my vacancies but then I searched on Google to see if there were any websites that might be able to help me. That's when I found childcare.co.uk.

I was really impressed with how easy it was to use. Within a couple of minutes I had created my profile and within 24 hours I had my first enquiry!

I signed up to gold membership and sent messages to all the parents in my area, which was really easy. Within a week I had filled two of my vacancies and just 3 weeks later I was completely full!

Recently, I've also added myself as a babysitter and have already done one job looking after 3 children at a wedding function. I can't recommend the site enough, it's just brilliant!

Melissa, Registered Childminder, Ipswich

 

Thank you for such a lovely service.

I found your service and registration really efficient and easy to use. Being very busy with my own company, I loved the pro-active message alert facility as it allowed me not to have to check for new messages unnecessarily.

Laura, Parent, Glasgow
 

I love this website and have signed up for a year's membership. It's clear bright and user friendly. I have already found one full time nanny job as result of signing up plus I have had several babysitting jobs too.

Sarah, Nanny, London

 

I am a working mother of 3 and after having my 3rd child in December 08, needed to find a Nanny who could care for my 2 school age children and 3 month old baby.

I spoke to friends who had similar situations to myself, some recommended agencies but the more experienced working mums suggested using websites first, as I would be more in control of the application process and wouldn't be exposed to hefty agency fees.

I came across childcare.co.uk via an internet search engine. I found it really user friendly and easy to search for Nannies by location. I quickly set up my own profile and posted it up on the site (being quite clear on the person I was looking for) and messaged 3 potential Nannies whose profile I liked.

One Nanny in particular stood out as she also had a photo which was great! I had replies back within 48 hours from all the applicants and via the email/message facility I was quickly able to find a potential match who suited my situation.

We then messaged each other and set up a time to have a telephone conversation, then following that a meeting on neutral territory. She provided me with copies of all her certificates and up to date CRB check. As both previous meetings were successful, I then invited the Nanny to our home to meet the children and baby.

It is now 3 months on and I have to say, its by far the best thing I have ever done. Our Nanny is fantastic and I just wish I had gone down this route as apposed to the private nursery with my other 2. I am back to work full time, the baby is growing fast and all the children have excellent care.

For those of you looking to return to work but not sure which way to turn for child care, you have nothing to lose by registering with childcare.co.uk. it doesn't cost you a penny and could lead to all your childcare worries being solved!
