About this Edinburgh Nursery

Description

Flexible childcare when you need it.

We get it. We understand sometimes you need childcare for just a few hours a day. You don’t want to commit to paying for a nursery space and you don’t need a nanny, so you can be left feeling a bit stuck.

Do you work from home? Are you trying to squeeze work calls in when your child is napping? Do you feel like you're not giving anything your 100%?

We have been there, and although it seems like a good idea, you feel deflated and rushed all the time. We can help with that feeling! Pop your child in to RLO for a few hours, concentrate on work and then collect them and enjoy an afternoon together, knowing you have been productive and not juggling emails and parenting.

But…

As a parent, YOU need some time to yourself, but when childcare options are limited, this can be difficult and can seem impossible.

That’s why we created flexible, ad-hoc childcare, so you can…

Work form home, do a food shop …have a hot cup of tea!
