New Parents - Priority waiting lists and instant bookings

Just because you're waiting for a permanent place to open up at your favourite daycare centre doesn't mean you can't book occasional or semi-permanent days. Most days there are vacancies at even the most heavily-filled centres. With vacancy.care, we give new parents the change to jump long waiting lists and become an active semi-permanent parent at approved providers. If the daycare provider allows your registration, you will be notified through the app and can book any vacancy instantly.
