elderly people is now offering a wide range of childcare services.
Hannah Crown reports.
Surecare is a private company, providing cradle-to-grave care via a mostly franchise-only model in major towns from Kent to Yorkshire. Childcare is a relatively new offering for the company, which was established in 1994 as a provider of domiciliary care. A squeeze on local authority funding for this type of care, which means providing a variety of support and care services to people in their own homes, has meant the company has had to diversify.
Managing director Gary Farrer, who previously founded Safehands Group, of which Safehands Greenstart nurseries was a part, has broadened the company's offering with childcare, respite care and a broader range of home-based care services, including collecting laundry and shopping. Surecare now has a turnover of £17m.
