Employer of Choice Award 2005 at a ceremony at 11 Downing Street.
The award is for the south London out-of-school provider's family-friendly work practices which include:
* Time off in lieu for working additional hours
* Individual contracts based on total hours, so staff can tailor work to their family needs. For example, one employee takes a Friday off every month and works longer on other days
* A loyalty day off for every year of service - some staff now have 10 loyalty days on top of annual leave
* Staff who are ill, or staff members' ill children, are offered free alternative therapies or counselling.
