bawdy-nan Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 There's an emergency childcare service but its HORRIFICALLY expensive http://www.emergencychildcare.co.uk/index/index.phpIs it niot possible to take some time off? You're entitled to that if your childcare breaks down 9i think its called carer's leave). I know this isn't always looked upon kindly by employers. You might also find a childminder witha gap that day if their charges are off on holiday 9 its the school holidays then...Good luck with sorting something out Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/12396-emergency-childcare/#findComment-344969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
