Childcare.co.uk have hundreds of thousands of childcare providers listed on our platform so there is a good chance you will find a childcare provider in your local area who is able provide part-time or emergency cover. Remember to search using postcodes in your local area and on your journey to work as this will broaden the search area available to you and allow you more flexibility.

Short term and temporary care can take some organising and you do have to be confident that your child is happy with the childcare provider you choose – plus appropriate documentation must be completed to safeguard you and your child – but it can work well in an emergency, especially if your childcare provider is going to be ill or called away unexpectedly for a few days.

During the holidays there are often childcare providers who work term time only and who do not mind taking a few extra children to cover for colleagues who have to take time off or who are on holiday. You should enquire about this as soon as possible so contingency plans are in place before the event. This will make it much less stressful for your child because they will be able to meet the childcare provider first.
