We believe in tailored childcare support for working parents. Why? A recent study found that 76% of working parents in the legal sector and 80% in finance have needed days off for last-minute childcare in the last year, compared to 67% overall. The solution? CocoRio, of course! How do we help parents with last-minute childcare? 🎭 It’s now easier than ever to find creative childcare that’s tailored to you, thanks to our online booking system.

So while you’re at work, you can rest assured that your little one is learning different beats on the drums with a musician, painting a masterpiece with an artist or cooking up a nutritious meal with a sous chef. 🎒Need wraparound care around school hours? We even do school drop-offs, pick-ups, mealtimes and bedtimes, all with a creative twist. #WorkingMums #ChildcareProvider #Finance #Legal

Half Term is nearly here! But we know the school holidays can seem like a juggling act for parents 🤹♀️ In fact, earlier this year chocolate company Kinder Chocolate found that 65% of parents find it tough to fit in time to play with their little ones around their work schedule, with 40% worrying their time away from school isn’t as educational as it could be as a result. We know that the world doesn’t stop when your children are off school - the meetings still run (and you can’t always put yourself on mute), the errands mount up and the to-do list feels never ending. That’s why we offer: 🎨 Personalised creative learning: Think of CocoRio as a personalised, one-to-one kids club, where they might learn different beats on the drums with a musician, create a masterpiece with an artist or cook up a nutritious meal with a sous chef. 🧒 Creative kids corners at corporate events: Whether you need a professional creative nanny to look after your little one on-site at a work event or are organising childcare for your company at their next away day, we’ll organise the creative activities. ⏰ Ad hoc creative childcare: CocoRio prides itself on being fully-flexible and working around your schedule. So while you’re doing your thing, you can rest assured that your little one is getting the most out of the Half Term. 🎭 Creative upskilling: It’s time to learn something new, from counting to ten in a foreign language to drawing and sketching objects in art books. 👶 Nanny sharing: Share between 2-3 family members or friends and split the cost of the booking, while still ensuring the same high-quality, creative childcare you’re looking for.

PSA: Life doesn’t stop when you’re a working mum 📢 Yes, the juggle is real. But we believe immersing children into your work environment isn’t actually all that bad. In fact, it can have a positive impact on their understanding of the world, especially from a young age. Our CEO and Co-Founder Corinna Bordoli shares her experience of learning about working environments from childhood here: “My mum was a journalist, so I regularly went to the office with her and saw her call people, ask questions, write articles and train other journalists. I really enjoyed observing her and it helped me develop an understanding about writing and working in an office environment - I’d even pretend I was her when I came home to play, complete with a keyboard, paper and pens to feel like a writer too.” Did you know that we personalise creative childcare to work around you? Whether that means doing arts and crafts with your child while you join a virtual meeting or setting up a creche or kids corner in your company’s HQ - we’re here to save the day when it comes to the working parent juggle.

Have you heard of the term ‘soaking up information like a sponge’ when people talk about #children? Well, it’s actually true. A new study by Brown University has found that children have a brain mechanism that allows them to learn more efficiently than adults. When learning to do a task, children receive a boost of a neurotransmitter called GABA that locks in newly-learned material and persists in their brains for several minutes afterwards, while these levels for adults remain constant throughout the learning process.  So with October Half Term coming up, why not book in a CocoRio nanny to teach your child a new skill? 💫 Here are some of our favourite ways our nannies can upskill your little learners (with a creative twist, of course): 🌎 Learning to count to ten in a foreign language 🧘♀️ Mastering a yoga pose, like the Tree Pose or Balancing Table Pose, and holding for 10 seconds ✏️ Drawing and sketching objects around the house, learning how to add shadows and depth 🫐 Cooking nutritious meals with fruit and vegetables 🗣️ Teaching tots about phonics and sounds 🎹 Learning to play a new tune on the piano and improvising their own 🧩 Completing a big jigsaw puzzle 📍 Learning capital cities and flags of the world 🌿 Planting herbs, fruit or vegetables in your garden #Education #Children #Parenting #ChildcareProvider
