"Daycare Trust has been working in partnership with Luton Borough Council since August 2008, to enable our participation in the pilot of the Disabled Children's Access to Childcare (DCatch) pilot. Working with a Daycare Trust consultant, we have been able to establish ourselves as a successful and innovative pilot programme for the DCSF and we have no reservations in recommending Daycare Trust.
Daycare Trust has undertaken a broad range of tasks as part of our partnership work: consultation with parents and professionals/needs analysis; development and implementation of strategy for D-Catch; programme consultancy support; presentations at a regional and national level; establishment of a training programme on disability awareness with local parent-trainers. The range of skills, expertise and organisational support from Daycare Trust has been impressive, reliable and consistent. I thoroughly recommend them."

The team have done an excellent job in keeping to scheduling and informing the sponsors about changes needed to ensure the success of the project.
We are really looking forward to receiving the final report and recommendations from a highly skilled group of experts who I would have no hesitation in recommending to others."
