Best Bear

Best Bear is the result of the efforts of working mothers, childcare professionals and journalists, and between them they have produced this highly informative, but friendly site.



Their mission is to compile the definitive list of the country's best childcare agencies. This is not just a database - the Best Bear team have spent months grilling agencies, with their resident qualified nanny incognito, posing as a potential employee. The results are here to view, with a short synopsis of the service they offer, and the areas they cover.



SPECIAL FEATURES


Childcare Information is a database of articles explaining your childcare options, including details of pay expectations, employment regulations and generally what to expect when looking for childcare.


Parents Forums is a useful forum for people wishing to discuss childcare issues. Discussion is intelligent and usually courteous (as ordered by the Best Bear team) and topics are varied, covering employers' dilemmas, such as what to do about a nanny who's taking the children's old clothes, to the difficulties of finding childcare as a single father.
