Borrow A Village is a new platform designed to help parents find trusted local babysitters and childcare support within their community. Unlike many existing platforms:- No registration fee for parents just to make contact.- No competing against dozens of other childcare professionals for every booking.- Families are matched quickly with the most suitable available childcare professional.- Secure online payments are handled through Borrow A Village.- Every childcare professional is verified through enhanced DBS checks, references and a video interview.We're currently speaking to parents, childcare providers and potential sitters to shape the service before launch.

We're currently in the research and development phase but are aiming to launch later this year. If you'd like to be one of the first to hear when we launch, please register your interest.

We're inviting parents, experienced babysitters, childcare professionals and local childcare providers to register their interest. Please email us at hello@borrowavillage.co.uk or register your interest using the forms on the homepage.

Protecting children and giving parents confidence will be central to Borrow A Village. We're developing our safeguarding, identity verification and suitability checks before launch and are working with childcare professionals to ensure these meet the needs of families.What we can tell you is that all childcare providers - from nannies to babysitters - will require Enhanced DBS Checks, references, a video or in-person interview with us and first aid training.

Absolutely. We'd love to hear from parents, childcare providers and potential sitters. Your feedback will help us build a service that genuinely works for local communities. Please email us at hello@borrowavillage.co.uk to chat or register your interest using the forms on the homepage.
