About this app

Childcare.co.uk helps parents seeking childcare connect with local childcare providers such as registered childminders, nannies, babysitters, nurseries and private tutors.

Parents simply choose the type of childcare they are looking for and enter their postcode to see a list of local childcare providers.

Each childcare provider has their own profile so you can read more about them and their services. Childcare provider profiles contain information such as My Qualifications, My Experience, My Availability, My Documents and My Fees together with ratings and reviews from other parents who have used their services.

Over 3 million members have used Childcare.co.uk since the platform launched in 2009.

It costs £24 a month if you want to communicate with other people or get their contact details. It's called gold membership. It automatically sets up as direct debit and there's no option to cancel your membership. The money keeps going out, i just wrote them to ask to cancel my membership. It should be free or much less. 24£ is too expensive.

Hello Saba T - Thank you for your review. Disappointingly, the claims that you have made are not correct. Gold membership via our Android app is a one-off payment made by in-app purchase and does not automatically renew. We offer lots of free services and it is possible to find childcare or childcare work without paying anything at all.

I've been a member for years and have not gotten a job once. I have had many multiple parents contact me but unfortunately are not able to get through to be because I'm not a 'Gold Member' and nor can i message them. 24 pounds a month! Which is neither helpful for me nor the parents who need childcare. What's the point of the app then if neither hosts can contact each other. Terrible.

If you write text, it does not automatically update, it took me a while to figure out how to save the text. Using the App is a good option if you are browsing and looking for information but do not wish to add unknown people on Facebook. If you become a Gold member, you need to pay monthly but this is worth it as you have access to sending messages to more childcare providers (who are also Gold members). It offers some data protection by allowing the user to set a password and sign in and out.
