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!"

21st Century Childcare

21st Century Childcare offers home-based childcare available between 6.30am and midnight, 7 days a week, delivered throughout Glasgow South.

The service provides vital childcare services - allowing parents to work, learn, and develop their skills.

21st Century Childcare feedback

"Without 21st Century Childcare I would not be able to work. I have 3 children under 10, one at nursery and two at primary school. The logistics mean that standard childcare does not meet my needs as I also frequently work evenings and weekends with shifts that vary week to week. The children can maintain their routines at home and I can work without feeling guilty."
