The website is in response to concerns about a shortage of childcare assistance for critical workers in a number of UK locations.

The UK’s second largest nursery group is asking for all providers to work together to help plug nationwide gaps in childcare coverage for key workers.
Bright Horizons is encouraging all eligible providers to register at emergencychildcare.co.uk/childcare-providers, and to spread the word, to support as many key worker families as possible.
