Speaking to mothers, there is one clear unifying factor that prevents many from returning to work after maternity leave – the cost of childcare. On average, a full time nursery place in London is close to £2,000 per month. Sadly, this often means it makes more economic sense for many mums not to return to work after maternity leave. We believe that women’s careers shouldn’t be put on hold simply because childcare costs too much. At The Working Mums Club, our aim is to help more women back to work after maternity. This is why our fees include childcare and our coworking space, making us more affordable than full time nursery for both.
Many mothers also want ad hoc childcare, a day a week, a few hours a week, this is impossible with a nursery setting and a babysitter doesn’t offer the socialisation for children which many also want.
We’re creating a solution for this.
We will be working with Tigerplay to create a unique soft play area that stimulates children’s imaginations, sociability and burns some energy!
We will only be working with Level 2 and above qualified childcare professionals who follow our TWMC Play Plan which has been crafted to incorporate Montessori ethics, language development and sociability.
We will be creating a multi use classroom where we will host a variety of activities – art, dancing, music to name a few. It will also be our space for workshops and classes for Mums.
We will be offering morning and afternoon blocks of supervised childcare while you use our coworking facilities or have a hot coffee in peace! Our blocks are three hours long: 9am – 12pm and 2-5pm. All our childcare assistants will be Level 2 and above and our classes are designed for children between three months and five years old. If you have a younger baby, you’re more than welcome to join too. Children will be able to enjoy free play in the soft play room supervised by our staff, more structured play in the classes. We can cater for bottle feeding and snacks, nappy changes and clear ups!
We will have a weekly timetable of five classes that are split into age categories. We will run the classes in term blocks and they will need to be booked for a term. We will occasionally have classes that can be booked on the day. From messy play to music, dance to sing and sign - we think there's a class your little ones will love. If there's a class you'd like to see, let us know.
