What makes us different

1

Active role models

Carers who love being on the move: football in the park, races in the garden, a splash at the pool.

2

Play that gets them moving

Games, activities and outdoor adventure, so after-school hours are fun that happens to be active.

3

Vetted, in person

Enhanced DBS, First Aid, verified references and a face-to-face interview before anyone meets your family.

4

The Family Wallet

A private parent login holding and supporting your agreement, your nanny's CV and checks and core benefits, including unlimited replacements throughout membership.

Less screen time, more play

We do not park children in front of tablets. Our carers plan the hours around movement, games and real-world activities so your children come home tired, happy and ready for the evening.

  • Movement first

    Every afternoon is planned around play, games and physical activity before screens are considered.

  • Real-world engagement

    Parks, gardens, sports, crafts and friends instead of hours on a tablet or the TV.

  • Parents kept in the loop

    Clear updates on what happened, how the children ate, and what they enjoyed most.

  • Flexible to your family

    We adapt the routine to your household, school clubs and children’s energy levels.

A typical after-school day

A balanced routine with more responsibility, sport, and structured homework time.

  1. 3:30pm

    School pick-up

    Meet at the school gate or agreed collection point with a quick check-in on the day.

  2. 4:00pm

    Play & sport time

    Park, garden games, a kickabout, a swim or just running around. Movement comes first.

  3. 5:00pm

    After-school activities

    Clubs, playdates or structured sessions dropped off and picked up on time.

  4. 6:00pm

    Homework

    Quiet table time with support and encouragement, not screens as the default.

  5. 6:45pm

    Dinner

    A simple, balanced meal prepared or served alongside the children.

  6. 7:15pm

    Household tidy & other duties

    Lunchboxes, uniforms, toys away and the kitchen reset, ready for tomorrow.

Timings are a guide and are tailored to each family, school and child.
