Barnardos is developing a flexible childcare service

Barnardos is developing a flexible childcare service to help parents stay in the workforce.

The organisation says access to quality childcare out of normal business hours, especially for solo parents, is a barrier for many wanting to work.”More than one fifth of mothers who work, or want to work, cite difficulties getting childcare that is available at the times they need it, and at a cost they can afford,” chief executive Jeff Sanders says.
