Our Testimonials

We’ve been using youchoosework since February 2024 and from day one I knew they were going to be fantastic. When we first signed up, I was personally welcomed at the nursery door by one of the directors with a thoughtful welcome box — such a lovely and unexpected gesture! Every staff member we’ve booked has been brilliant: always punctual, confident, and able to adapt seamlessly to our setting. What really sets youchoosework apart is how different they are from other agencies. Their easy-to-use online booking system saves so much time compared to making endless phone calls, and on top of that, they’re the most affordable agency I’ve come across — without ever compromising on quality. Honestly, they’re one of the best I’ve ever worked with!

Bubbly Bear Day CareNatalie R, Manager

"We would like to say what a fantastic service we have received off Emma and the team. Great website to book cover staff. All the staff used have been really good and have fitted in to the teams well and have been reliable, supportive, keen and focused on the children. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any setting needing cover for holidays and sickness.”

Bowden House Day NurseryJane F, Manager

We have used youchoosework since they first started and have always been really happy with the service from Emma and the team, as well as the flexible workers that they have. We have a number of workers that we use regularly now, and since they launched their new website/app it has made it much easier to see what availability they have, and also to book familiar staff too. The standard of the workers they offer is fantastic and they represent youchoosework positively, which means that we continue to use their services and choose them over other agencies where possible.

Brookside PreschoolLeanne M, Manager

We have been using youchoosework for the past year and love it! The practitioners we have had are great. All the agency staff have been very professional and excellent with the children. I would recommend youchoosework to any nurseries struggling with staffing issues.
