OUR WORK+FAMILY SOLUTIONS
BACK-UP CARE
Back-Up Care when you and your employees need it most, supporting wellbeing, increasing engagement and productivity.
Your working parents have been without childcare for over two months now.
In-home childcare is now possible and nurseries and childminders are ‘coming soon’ .
The hardship is far from over. Parents face a difficult summer. Grandparent care is unlikely, au pairs aren’t in the country and school holiday clubs uncertain.
Back-Up Care can provide immediate care for crucial working days and provide respite for parents who desperately need it.
Comprehensive Back-Up Care
We provide the UK and Ireland's only comprehensive back-up childcare and adult dependant care solution.
When care breaks down, or a last-minute option is needed, we put the employee's choice of the best Back-Up Care in place wherever and whenever it’s needed.
From nannies, nurseries and holiday clubs to in-home adult and eldercare.
We save our clients 80,000+ working days per year
They have happier, more productive and less stressed employees, and in most cases, we deliver at least three times ROI.

A solution that works for everyone
There are sometimes circumstances where you need to be in two places at once, but it's not just not possible. The provision of Eldercare meant I had one less thing to worry about and I felt safe and assured that my father was being cared for by a professional
Fantastic benefit to have the emergency childcare service. Really sets my employer apart as being family friendly and makes me recommend them as an employer to my network.
It is such a fantastic back-up service and it makes me want to remain with this company because they understand what it is to be a working parent.
Your employees simply choose the care they need, and their location
And we display their closest Back-Up Care options available
Many of our providers have been added as a result of a direct request from a working parent.
