Brighton Mum And Entrepreneur Launches Officrèche
A Flexible Childcare Solution
Childcare is great if you work regular hours and have a regular income. But for a growing population of parents who work more flexibly -a third of mothers and a fifth of fathers with dependent children (Office of National Statistics)- it often doesn't suit parent or child.
Brighton based mum and entrepreneur, Elizabeth Moody-Stuart, has finally developed a solutionto this modern dilemma for the parent who works flexibly; a unique organisation that allows the parent to work whilst the child plays in the same building.
"I can book me and my baby in as and when I need from week to week or month to month and I don't need to commute from a nursery to my desk. I know my little one is safe below – I can pop down and check if I want to – and breastfeed! It's a real opportunity to network and be part of a community of families with common issues – and to eventually volunteer in the nursery to earn myself more childcare/hours and to get tips from the paid staff. And the building is beautiful!"
Rhonda Ziman, prospective member of Officrèche
