If we can support parents to be their best selves at home, they can be their best selves at work, and that's great for everybody.
FOR EMPLOYERS That Care
Support your working parents will love. Fully delivered for you.
Working parents are carrying a lot. Parenting pressure doesn't stay at home. Worry about children, childcare, family logistics and the constant pull between work and home can affect stress, focus and how supported people feel by their employer.
Working parents want to know their employer gets it. The support employers provide during the most demanding years of family life can shape how valued, supported and able to stay people feel. Treasure Time gives working parents practical, expert support for one of the biggest sources of pressure in their lives.
We run the programme from start to finish and give employers clear evidence of engagement and impact.
You fund the cohort, we run everything
Choose from live cohort groups that bring parents together from across the organisation, self-guided programmes that parents can access in their own time, or a blend of both. We provide everything you need to launch internally, manage sign-ups and get parents started. We measure the programme impact to give you a clear picture of engagement and change.
Everything your parents need, delivered to their home
Every participant receives a Treasure Time box at home, filled with carefully selected materials for their weekly practice. There's nothing for parents to source or prepare, and nothing for your team to organise or ship. Every Treasure Time box is designed to make the weekly play practice simple and immediate.
Expert support, with other working parents
Parents join live sessions led by a qualified play therapist, learning practical skills they can use at home straight away. Live cohorts give parents space to share experiences with colleagues who understand the pressures they're juggling, building connection across the organisation.
One 30-minute practice each week
Parents put what they're learning into practice through a protected, screen-free Treasure Time playdate with their child. Their child leads and the parent practises skills including listening, following, noticing, boundaries and emotional regulation. Most parents report seeing positive changes in their child after the first session.
our approach
The CARE method
Most employers care about their working parents. Many already have good policies and benefits in place. But the experience of being a parent at work is shaped by what happens day to day: whether parenthood is visible, whether managers understand the pressures parents are navigating, whether there are opportunities to connect with others, and whether support makes a meaningful difference to life outside work.
The CARE Method helps employers close the gap between offering support and employees genuinely feeling supported.
C
Care through change
Support parents through the moments when family and working life change, including parental leave, returning to work, childcare transitions and changing family circumstances.
A
Acknowledge openly
Make parenthood visible and accepted across the organisation, so employees feel able to use the support available without worrying about how it will be perceived.
R
Real support
Offer practical support for the pressures parents are actually experiencing, including life outside work, so employer care is tangible rather than something that exists mainly in policy.
E
Equip managers
Help managers understand the realities of working parenthood and give them the confidence to bring policies and parent-supportive culture to life in everyday interactions.
Start with one cohort.
Build from there.
A clear route from supporting your first group of parents to embedding the CARE method across the organisation.
Treasure Time almost gives you permission to take pressure off and to simplify things. You get more from it without realising. And then you look back and you go, ‘it’s so different now'
Balancing a career and young children at home is such a difficult challenge. Having an employer that genuinely recognises that struggle and supports you makes all the difference.
They don’t need a lot, it’s just they want your time… doing Treasure Time has made me realise the difference.
The mornings have been far, far calmer… I feel like we’re definitely feeling the benefit of it.
I’ve learned a lot about myself… being present is really important. Other things can wait.
It’s been eye-opening. Who knew that spending time together would unlock so much?

Yes. Treasure Time is designed to change what employees experience at home, not simply give them more content to consume. Parents apply a practical, guided approach every week, while your organisation tracks shifts in employer loyalty and retention sentiment before and after the programme.
Recent data shows a shift before and after Treasure Time in retention intentions (71% to 100%), loyalty to employers (86% to 100%) and rating leadership as valuing emotional wellbeing of staff (71% to 100%).
Most employers begin with one eight-week Founding Cohort. We agree what success looks like, establish a baseline, invite the first group and take care of delivery. At the end, you have the participant experience and the data to decide what comes next.
Most parents notice a significant shift in their relationships at home after the first session and they report a drop in parenting stress within the first month. The systems we build create a compound effect that strengthens over time.
Treasure Time is for employers who want to provide meaningful support for working parents. Our programmes support parents and carers of children from the early years through primary school, with guidance adapted to different ages and stages.
We give parents practical support with the parts of family life that can create pressure alongside work. Parents learn skills around connection, communication, boundaries, emotions and child development, with a weekly practice that helps them use what they are learning at home. It's much more than just an employee benefit — it's a human performance programme for working parents that improves relational skills that can be used in the workplace as well as at home.
Very little. We agree the cohort and what you want to measure, then Treasure Time manages communications, onboarding, programme delivery, participant materials and impact reporting. Your People team has one point of contact throughout.
We agree what matters to your organisation before the programme begins and establish a baseline with participants. At the end, we repeat the agreed measures and report on engagement, parent experience and changes in the measures you selected. We provide this in a report to your People team at the end of each cohort.
Treasure Time gives parents practical relationship skills to support the connection at home. Treasure Time gives parents an easy to implement weekly ritual that gives their relationship dedicated space even when family life is busy, and techniques to maintain strong connection that they can use long after the programme ends.
Research shows us that when children feel securely connected to their caregivers, their demands decrease. Many parents tell us that they'll be physically present with their child, but mentally elsewhere, or multitasking between jobs - and children can feel the difference. By giving a short, focused amount of time and attention through play (the child's natural language) children's connection cup gets filled, demands reduce and parenting stress lowers.
