Your pipeline to partner has a childcare problem.

Women make up the majority of graduates entering law, accountancy and finance. A fraction reach the top. The drop happens at exactly the age childcare pressure peaks. This is not a talent problem. It is an infrastructure problem. And it is solvable.

No pitch. No pressure. We listen first.

02 · The Problem

This is not a parenting problem.
It is a systems problem.

Everything in the modern economy became simple. You can order dinner in minutes. Book a flight in seconds. But childcare — one of the most critical systems in society — is still fragmented, manual and stressful. Not because parents aren't trying hard enough. Because nobody built the infrastructure.

15

curveball childcare days per working parent, per year — every year, without exception. New UCL research confirms children in their first year of nursery are ill for an average of 10 days per month. The Calpol and Cuddles days are coming for every parent on your team.

The infrastructure argument
"When trains break down, workers are delayed. When childcare breaks down, workers cannot work at all."

Childcare is not a lifestyle benefit. It is productivity infrastructure. Every company with a workforce has a childcare problem. Most just haven't named it yet.

03 · The Reframe

Think of öogo like health insurance.

You do not wait for someone to get sick before you offer health insurance. You pay for it all the time so it is there when it is needed. Childcare works the same way. The question is not whether your people will need it. They will. The question is whether they are prepared.

01
Prepare before the crisis
Traditional back-up care sends strangers to family homes in an emergency. öogo introduces families to great Minders before the emergency arrives. That is not back-up care. That is childcare infrastructure.
02
Retain the talent you've invested in
The cost to train one solicitor to billable status is approximately €98,000. The cost of an öogo corporate membership is a fraction of one resignation. The ROI is not a nice-to-have. It is measurable.
03
Move from box-ticking to investment
öogo is not another vendor asking for a compassionate favour. We are showing you the business case for something necessary. Childcare benefits that actually work change the conversation at board level.

05 · Our Solution

öogo is not a back-up care provider.
We are the complete childcare solution.

65% of searches on the öogo platform are for regular, day-to-day childcare. That is where we start. The complete solution covers every stage of the working parent journey — from the first day back at work to the last school run, and everything in between.

01
Fix the sleep.
Return to work support. Consistent, excellent daily care so a new parent can function and thrive from day one back at work.
02

A trusted bench of Minders, trialled before emergencies. Ready when the curveball days arrive — and they will arrive, 15 times a year, for every parent.
🏗️
Infrastructure, not a marketplace.

Traditional back-up care providers are reactive — they send strangers to your employees' homes in a crisis. öogo builds relationships before the crisis. Every Minder is vetted, matched and known to the family before they are ever needed in an emergency. That is the difference between a service and infrastructure.
