Wrap Around Care 4U

1. WrapAroundCare4U Leading the way in before and after school care

2. Agenda • Who are we and why are we going to run a before and after school service? • A profound childcare dilemma and our solution • Your feedback from the parent survey • What will WAC4U be like as a child?

3. WAC4U – Who are we? • Childcare4u • Private Daycare Nurseries in Marlow & Beaconsfield • Ofsted rated “outstanding” • Karen Richardson-Scarfe • EYPS qualification • 10 years experience in childcare • Management consultancy background • Working Mum with 4 children • Sam Kelly • Chartered Accountant with over 20 years experience • Working Mum with 2 children

4. A profound childcare dilemma • Mismatch between school and work hours • Multiple solutions • Quit work • Flexible working with or without additional childcare • Childcare options • Professional (nannies, childminders) • Non-professional (friends & family & au-pairs, ) • Ad-hoc after school activities • Any combination of these options • Decision drivers are cost, logistics and the safety and happiness of the child • An imperfect compromise is often the result

5. As a parent… • I work and need excellent quality childcare i.e. I need to be able to concentrate at work secure in the knowledge that my child is safe, well cared for, having fun and learning • I need to know my child is safe • I want to know they have had some fresh air, exercise and a healthy snack and ideally learned something with their friends • I’d like to pick them up and their homework is done – doing homework at 18:15 onwards is too late/results in very negative home time – Homework as a working parent is best tackled at the weekend • I’d like them to be socialising with their friends in a familiar environment with familiar carers/teachers • Good value quality service that isn’t complex to organise • Reliable with no sickness or other associated issues e.g. Nanny being off sick or child minder ill I choose the school so why wouldn’t I choose an after school club run at my child’s school?

6. Fundamental belief that working parents need excellent quality childcare at an affordable price and children need to be happy, secure and above all gaining enhancing their learning, socialising and health.
