Flexible childcare when you need it
We get it. We understand sometimes you need childcare for just a few hours a day. You don’t want to commit to paying for a nursery space and you don’t need a nanny, so you can be left feeling a bit stuck.
Last minute bookings available
Qualified, experienced staff
Safe environment for all children
Do you work from home? Are you trying to squeeze work calls in when your child is napping? Do you feel like you're not giving anything your 100%. We have been there, and although it seems like a good idea, you feel deflated and rushed all the time. We can help with that feeling! Pop your child in to RLO for a few hours, concentrate on work and then collect them and enjoy an afternoon together, knowing you have been productive and not juggling emails and parenting.
But…
As a parent, you need some time to yourself, but when childcare options are limited, this can be difficult and can seem impossible.
That’s why we created flexible, ad-hoc childcare, so you can…
Work form home
do a food shop
…have a break!
Arranging a visit
If you’d like to arrange a visit to view our playroom, please fill in your details below and we’ll get back to you. Alternatively, you can call us on 07849 552 939 or email enquiries@raisinglittleones.co.uk.
Settling In
We know it can be worrying leaving your child for the first time, so it’s important you know your child will be safe and cared for by our team of experienced and highly qualified staff you can trust.
All parents and children will have a tour of the playroom where you can ask questions while your little one explores. You’ll also get 1 hour complimentary settling in session. We ask that parents stay within the building while their child is settling in, so you’re welcome to grab a coffee in the café and enjoy some ‘me time’ while they’re discovering the playroom. If your child is upset, we have a range of activities and resources to help calm them, however if this isn’t possible, we’ll ask you to return to the playroom.
Once they’re settled, you’ll be able to chat about your child’s personal plan with their key worker and you’ll also be given their learning journal information. Our team will build trust and respect with your child to develop a strong relationship.
Before your child’s first session, you’ll need to fill in the online registration form. This can be done on a mobile or laptop, or one of our team can complete the registration at the entry desk. You must also leave a contact number with us in case of emergencies.
