Free mobile app that helps parents and their friends manage informal after-school childcare
Juggling childcare with work can be challenging and expensive.
The Fetching app, allows you to connect with other parents you know and trust, to create a network of people that are approved to care for your child.
By looking after a friend's child at a time that suits you, you earn credits to use when you need your own child cared for.
For schools, we have built a complete view of who is collecting each child every day.
Not only do we reduce administration by sending notifications if anything changes, our live updates mean that parents can request help from a friend at a moment's notice. So, if they are running late, they can raise a fetch and ensure that their children are collected on time.
