Hi Third Door
I ve just seen the episode of dragon den, and i must say it is a real shame that you didnt get anything.
I love your concept and we, mums and dads, need more if those flexible place. The reality is it is really really hard to return to work in a flexible way and if you are lucky enough to be able to, finding flexible childcare is also very difficult. Because of that a lot of mums (sorry dads no disrespect but mums are still the majority who stop work for a while in this country) stop working for a while. There are a lot of mums who are dynamic and full of ideas. Some mums embrace their new status fully but some of them are finding it hard. So they start micro businesses. And this is where you come. You provide a flexible outlet for these mums to be able to work their idea knowing that their child is looked after by great people and in a flexible way. I admire you for that and i am sure your business has taken off by now.
I understand your model is not about renting office spaces (even though it is a faster money making) but about providing a service for those who works. Perhaps you should have presented it this way?
Good luck to you. Sx
