Comments from users of our current Childcare @ Home

"I use the service to fit in with shift patterns. The effect of no longer having a sitter would be devastating as I would be hard pushed to replace the service provided and the children would suffer as they have a relationship with the sitter they have."

"It enables my child and I to have a short break from each others company. It enables me to have 'me' time as an adult instead of as a parent. It allows my child safe interaction with an adult other than myself and helps to broaden his thinking."

"Given me peace of mind to allow me to work knowing my children are in safe hands."

"Made it easier, knowing my child will get to school on days family are not available."

"By this service being provided I was able to further my education which will help me get employment which will benefit our family, even in employment this service would be beneficial as I know my children were happy being looked after and the service was superb."

"Able to accomodate shift work i.e. 7am - 10pm and sitters interacted with children."

"Peace of mind while I am at work knowing where my kids are and knowing they are getting well looked after in their own home."

"Very professional, friendly and of a very high standard."
