• family friendly flexible working policies and practices
• a 28 place nursery on site at Kingston Hospital with a tax efficient payment option
• a Childcare Voucher Scheme offering cost savings for eligible offsite childcare
• links with Day Care and Holiday Playscheme providers offering NHS staff discounts
• an interest free loan for holiday playscheme fees
• The Honey Pot and Hive, our own NHS Holiday Playscheme
• access to an emergency childcare scheme.
