Our story started when our founder Jennifer went back to work just two weeks after giving birth to her first child, having realised she wasn’t eligible for government maternity pay. Like so many working mums, she wanted to give work her all and be present for her daughter. But she soon found that the world wasn’t built for both.
Jennifer was shocked to discover that over 75% of women don’t return to work full-time after having children, often because of inflexible childcare. Motherhood is bloody hard, and the careers women have diligently built often have to take a backseat. She knew there had to be a better way – and she decided to create it.
Starting in Deptford, we're creating spaces on every high street in the UK where mums can thrive personally and professionally, while staying on top of family life. We offer high quality childcare, workspaces mums want to spend time in, and the grown-up conversations they crave – all under one roof. Our vibrant community programme brings families together to create a village of support from one mother to another, close to home.
Because childcare needs to be accessible in order for mums to return to their careers without burning out. We're blending childcare and coworking to create hyperlocal, hyper-convenient spaces where mothers can be present for themselves and their children, if needed, in the day. As well as a nursery and coworking, our carefully curated spaces deliver nourishing food, great coffee, a strong community and masses of flexibility. The Working Mums Club is a place where mums really can have it all.
Our values guide us as we grow The Working Mums Club. They’re at the heart of everything we do.
Community: The Working Mums Club is a supportive village where mothers share the highs and lows, regain their strength, and remind each other they’re not alone.
Flexibility: Rigid systems don’t work for real families. We’re building childcare and workspace that bend around family life, not the other way around.
Accessibility: Great childcare and workspace shouldn’t be a postcode lottery. The Working Mums Club is hyperlocal, super convenient, and inclusive to every family.
Identity: Mothers shouldn’t have to choose which version of themselves to be. The Working Mums Club is where women can be brilliant professionals, present parents, and whole humans all at once.
Care: Our bespoke childcare model delivers Montessori-style learning and development through play, nourishing food, and meaningful connections across generations.
The Working Mums Club is led by a passionate team of working mums who also happen to be experts in their field. We all have lived experience of working while raising children. We know the struggle, we’re no strangers to the juggle – and we feel the joy of motherhood too.
