As companies work towards creating inclusive, family-friendly workplaces, corporate daycare has become a key part of their employee benefit strategy. But before making the leap, HR leaders naturally have questions—about cost, compliance, logistics, and value. At Feathertouch, we’ve partnered with 50+ companies to set up successful onsite and hybrid daycare solutions. Here are the top five questions we hear—and how we answer them.
Common corporate concerns and how Feathertouch offers scalable, compliant solutions.
1. Is corporate daycare too expensive for the company?
Many HR leaders worry that setting up a daycare will be a significant cost burden. The truth is, corporate daycare is an investment, not an expense. It boosts retention, reduces absenteeism, and increases productivity—especially among working parents. At Feathertouch, we offer flexible pricing models and shared cost structures, making daycare affordable for both companies and employees.
2. How do we ensure the daycare is compliant with legal norms?
Compliance with the Maternity Benefit (Amendment) Act, 2017 is a key concern. Feathertouch takes full ownership of regulatory requirements—from obtaining licenses to meeting staffing norms and safety standards. Our centres are fully compliant with government mandates, giving HR leaders peace of mind.
3. Will we have enough enrolment to justify the facility?
Not all companies have the numbers to run a full daycare centre. That’s why Feathertouch offers hybrid daycare models, combining smaller onsite setups with access to our nearby centres. This ensures maximum flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and wider employee reach—especially in companies with distributed teams.
4. How do we manage operations? We’re not childcare experts.
That’s where we come in. Feathertouch provides end-to-end daycare management—from setup and staffing to curriculum and food services. Our experienced operations team handles everything so your HR and admin teams can focus on what they do best.
5. How do we measure impact and ROI?
We track metrics like employee retention post-maternity, daycare utilisation, employee satisfaction, and productivity levels. Many of our partners have seen up to a 40% increase in return-to-work rates and a significant boost in morale.
Feathertouch Daycare is built for working parents—and for forward-thinking companies. With scalable, compliant, and parent-friendly solutions, we help organizations unlock the real power of childcare support: happier employees, stronger retention, and a truly inclusive workplace.
