Safehands Network Ltd was originally founded in 1997 in Thornton-Cleveleys by Stephanie & Gary Farrer. Both business professionals and parents of 3 children, they developed a nationwide company that specialises in high quality childcare related services. In the early years, Safehands initially provided a professional evening babysitting service across the North West, now 10 years on, the services has been extended to deliver a wide selection of childcare solutions across the U.K.

Safehands also deliver a national mobile crèche service for weddings, and conferences including a selection of party packages for children.

All these services make the Safehands brand unique and synonymous with professionalism, quality, service and value.
