A friend of mine has decided to offer Pay As You Go childcare.
Most childcare is provided under a contract. Nannies are contracted to a family. Childminders contract parents for a set number of hours a week.
Sunninghill Play Centre will be different in that parents can leave their child for as short a period of time as 1 hour, to as long as 11 hours. No long term contract, just book the time they need.
I suppose it is a bit like a crèche except that parents don't have to remain on site.
My friend will also be providing before school and after school care. I imagine that care for school aged children will probably be what turns out to be most popular, given the location - it is a very short walk from a St Michaels Primary School, Sunninghill.
Would you use a PAYG childcare service... or would you prefer it to be under a contract?
