Flexible Childcare Services Angus & Fife
Childcare@home Angus & Fife operates in the Angus and Fife areas, offering high quality registered care in the child's own home, 7 days a week from early morning to late evening, as required by the family.
The service provides vital childcare services - allowing parents to work, learn, and develop their skills.
Parents pay an hourly charge, often on a sliding scale based on family income and can also access other OPFS services.
Childcare@home Fife also provides mobile crèche services by individual arrangement in local communities.
The service helps working, student, and vulnerable families by providing direct services.
Childcare@home feedback
'Bob' is a lone father who has a daughter at Primary School. Unfortunately his partner passed away leaving Bob as the primary carer.
"I contacted childcare@home to enlist their services for 4 evenings per week while I work shifts. If I arranged childcare in the evenings my employer said he would allow me to start work later in the mornings meaning I would be at home to see my daughter off to school. I have been with the service since March 2008. I am still in employment, my daughter is doing well at school and she really enjoys the company of the sitters who provide the childcare in the family home!"
