I am now a stay at home mum. My husband works in FE and his job is not secure so we are looking at trying to start our own business. As we both have a background in education then we would like to venture into this area.
I have come up with the idea of emergency childcare. I know that there is a large national website that does just this but none of my friends have had an success with it in our area.
My idea is to start an emergency childcare business that really steps in when you need them. Using current part-time/ex teachers, nannies, nurses etc. Vet them myself and only take the very good ones. I am highly qualified in the area of Early Years and Education so I think I know what to look for.
We would offer emergency care in your own home or ours at very short notice so if your child wakes up unwell and you simply cannot take the day off work (it happens!) then someone could come round to look after them. Other situations could be if the childminder is ill, nursery is shut, family emergency etc.
I'm only just starting to think about it but any advice/opinions would be welcomed. We would hopefully start local and then branch out.
