Hotdesking and childcare business idea - seeking feedback


BessemerMum

Recommended Posts

Hi there,


I am a local East Dulwich mum who is considering setting up a new hotdesking and childcare service, five minutes? walk from East Dulwich train station.


Hotdesks would be available for rent in a newly installed, fully hooked up and insulated garden office at my home which would offer 2-3 desks (numbers to be confirmed). As I would have my own child at home with me, I would be able to offer childcare for 1-2 children at the times their parents would be working.


I would offer ?desk only? or ?desk + childcare? options, and envisage desks could be booked in advance online in 2 hour slots, full day slots, weekly slots or monthly slots.


I am not yet a qualified childminder but would undergo all the necessary training and become OFSTED registered etc. I do have two children of my own (the older one is at Bessemer Grange?s nursery) so have good ?hands on? experience of raising children myself. I know what it means to be a working parent and how stressful it can be at times such as when your kids are ill or being able to get back in time to collect your kids to avoid any late pick-up charges ? something that would be avoided in this set-up!


As this is an idea in incubation, I would really appreciate any thoughts or feedback that people may have and/or whether it would be something that would be of interest to you personally. I?m very flexible and would really want to create a space for you that is akin to a ?home from home?, where you could focus on work safe in the knowledge your child is being looked after in a home environment very close by, where you could see them whenever you wanted ? or not, as the case may be!


I look forward to hearing your feedback. Happy to be contacted by PM as well.


Many thanks! :)

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
