When you book a Childcare professional through Last Minute Minders you will be given access to all the documentation that you require in order to be compliant. This will include:

  • Garda Vetting
  • Copy of all qualifications
  • Two verified Childcare related references
  • Photo ID

Services

Last Minute Minders can offer you a tailored package to suit your corporation and especially any parents in your workforce who may have breakdowns in their regular childcare and require emergency cover.

We will work with you to access your company needs and create a solution that will mean your employees will have peace of mind while at work.

We know that companies that support their employees in getting the balance right between home & work have a happier, more productive workforce.

The benefits of supporting your employees this way means that your organisation has less absenteeism, higher retention and lower recruitment costs.

What do your employees do when their usual childcare arrangements break down?

  • Where do your working parents turn to for support when they need to attend a meeting when their usual childcare arrangements are not available?
  • What do parents do when their child is unable to attend crèche or school due to mild illness?
  • What do your parents do when their usual childcare solutions are unavailable?
  • Do your parents have a support network?
  • Do your employees struggle with making child care arrangements during school holidays?
  • How many hours of your employees’ time have you lost because they were unable to make emergency childcare arrangements?

We've engaged Last Minute Minders on a number of occasions to provide childcare services to our corporate clients. We found the service to be professional and caring and have no hesitation recommending Last Minute Minders for similar work.

  • After the first year of employment, employee turnover is most likely to occur among parents of young children.
  • Of employees with children in an employer-sponsored child care solution, 93 percent reported that child care was an important factor when considering a job change. Just under 20 percent had actually turned down a job offer rather than lose their child care.

Reducing Absenteeism

  • Parents in employment have child care problems, on average, six times a year, with 98% having to take time off as a result.
  • Child care issues account for 24% of absences in the workplace.
  • Absence now costs companies between €500 and €600 per employee per year
