How to use CocoRio during Half Term

You can officially call us your Half Term heroes. Why? We’re here to save the day when it comes to childcare over the school holidays. 

We know that the world doesn’t stop when your children are off school - the meetings still run (and you can’t always put yourself on mute), the errands mount up and the to-do list feels never ending.

Cue CocoRio. We represent over 500 creative nannies and mentors, who are also professional musicians, dancers, artists, actors and more, ready to educate, inspire and nurture your children’s skills through creative learning.

Here’s how to make the most of CocoRio creative childcare over Half Term:

1. Personalised creative learning

Looking for an alternative childcare solution to holiday camp? Think of CocoRio as a personalised, one-to-one kids club, tailored to your little one’s interests and development. We believe in minimum guilt, maximum fun childcare during the school holidays, which is why we’re here to educate, inspire and nurture your children’s skills from morning til night. For example, while you’re working or having some ‘me’ time, your little one could be learning different beats on the drums with a musician, painting a masterpiece with an artist or cooking up a nutritious meal with a sous chef. 

2. Creative kids corners at corporate events

Yes, we’ve made creative kids corners at corporate events a thing! Whether you need a professional creative nanny to look after your little one on-site at a work event or are organising childcare for your company at their next away day, our kids corner experience is ideal for keeping a group of children entertained nearby. We’ll organise creative activities suited for the children’s interests and age range, such as storytelling sessions, imaginative play, arts and crafts, song time and dancing games. 

3. Ad hoc creative childcare

Have a meeting and need a nanny to keep them occupied? Or looking for a mentor to help your little one with homework during the holidays? CocoRio prides itself on being fully-flexible and working around your schedule. So while you’re doing your thing, you can rest assured that your little one is getting the most out of the Half Term, from practicing their French with a professional puppeteer to mastering the art of the tree pose with a yoga instructor.

4. Discovering your child’s creative skills

We can’t think of anything more exciting than learning a new talent or skill over Half Term. What’s on offer? Well, we work on a child-centred approach, finding out what they’re passions are and giving them a choice when it comes to trying new things. So, a CocoRio session over Half Term could consist of learning to count to ten in a foreign language, drawing and sketching in art books, cooking nutritious meals, teaching tots about phonics, completing a big jigsaw puzzle, learning capital cities or playing a new tune on the piano. In other words, the possibilities are endless!

5. Nanny sharing

It’s time for a Half Term play date, but one where they learn and play together with a talented creative. What exactly is our nanny sharing service? Well, it enables you to share between 2-3 family members or friends, splitting the cost of the booking and still ensuring the same high-quality, creative childcare you’re looking for. Plus, did you know that when children learn and have fun in group settings, their confidence can soar (especially as they develop their social skills and get involved in teamwork)? And as our creative nannies are trained in everything from drama, dancing, arts and crafts, to yoga and cooking, your little ones will be talking about their CocoRio adventure for weeks to come.
