Flexible childcare
and learning
for modern families

Find the perfect after-school teacher, tutor or babysitter!

As the boundaries of work and family life continue to blur, most parents don’t have the proverbial ‘village’ to look to for support. From our childcare App to our Nanny Agency, at The Rocket House, we are as flexible as your life needs us to be, ensuring your child receives the best care and learning experience outside of school walls.

With The Rocket House app, you can instantly book experienced and trusted teachers and babysitters, each one meticulously vetted and referenced following our '7-step recruitment path,' ensuring your peace of mind. Whether you're in need of last-minute care or regular support, our app has it all. From babysitters and mothers’ help to ad-hoc after-school, weekend or holiday care. From Maths to Music, English to Ballet, and Coding to Comic Making -we ensure your child’s learning is as comprehensive as it is captivating.

At The Rocket House, we believe that finding trusted childcare and educational support should be effortless—and backed by genuine expertise. Founded by educational experts and founders of the innovative Rocket Pre-Preps in London, our app brings unparalleled expertise directly to your family. Plus, unlike many other apps, we have a dedicated concierge ready to assist you at every step of the way.
