Finding good childcare can be very time-consuming and stressful - especially if you don’t know where to look, what your childcare options are and how to vet potential childcare providers.

The Working Parent’s Guide to Stress-Free Childcare, £4.99, gives you some invaluable pointers on how to do that. Written by Joycellyn Akuffo, founder and editor of www.MothersWhoWork.co.uk and www.LookforChildcare.co.uk – herself a married working mum – the guide is packed with useful tips and advice for working parents.

It covers just about everything from how to save money on the cost of childcare, the full spectrum of childcare options, what police checks actually cover, and even sample contracts you can use with a nanny or childminder.

If you’re new to the childcare game, this is a must-read. And for seasoned parents, you can update your knowledge on the new law governing childcare providers, more money-saving tips and more.

This 45-page ebook is written like a book and is fully illustrated throughout, with 16 chapters is very comprehensive, leaving no stone unturned.

Why this an ebook and not a hard copy?

We know that looking for childcare can be planned or an emergency, and so it makes sense to make sure that our guide reaches you as quickly as you need it.

* Why pay more just to have a publisher’s logo on your book? We don’t believe in fancy paperbacks and hardbacks, with expensive pictures that you’ll look at once - it’s the information that you really want, so to keep your costs down, we have created an ebook instead.
* Help the environment - save trees and don’t print this guide unless you have to.
* Save space - by the time you gave birth to your child, you’ll probably have built up your very own mini-library of book and magazines to help you understand motherhood and your child better. How many times do you read them now? Exactly. And how much space are those books taking up on your shelves, collecting dust? Point taken.
