Flexible Childcare Services Dundee
Childcare@home Dundee operates in the Dundee area, 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 Dundee also provide mobile crèche services. These flexible crèches are offered for community organisations and private clients.
The service has been operating in Dundee for 10 years, helping working, student, and vulnerable families, supported by the Early Years, Childcare Partnership and Social Work Department.
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!"
