We understand that taking time to attend your child’s orthodontic or dentist appointment can be disruptive and inconvenient, so we have decided to partner with OneLane, a revolutionary iPhone app-based service that allows parents to book vetted Guardians to safely drive their children to school and any other appointments. OneLane’s exciting new solution for parents has turned heads in the tech industry, receiving positive press coverage from the likes of Huffington Post and Tech.London, plus recently being nominated for the Start-up Business of the Year 2016 award from website mumandworking.
Patients of Moira Wong Orthodontics will receive a discount code, making their first 3 rides in London zones 1-3 completely free of charge. Regarding appointments at Moira Wong Orthodontics, parents would need to be present at the first appointment, but during the 18-24 months that follow, the children are able to attend routine check ups on their own.
OneLane eliminates the stress of attempting to juggle work and busy life with school runs and children’s appointments. It is also more than just a reliable and safe alternative to taxis and public transport: OneLane offers a childcare service of up to 2 hours care pre- or post-ride by your allocated Guardian. The Guardians are all childcare professionals such as nannies, childminders, teachers, tutors and nurses with a verified employment record. They have undergone all of the relevant safety checks, including enhanced DBS and DVLA, and in-house training is regularly carried out with the Guardians. OneLane understand that familiarity is important, so parents are able to request to meet and interview the Guardian before the first journey.
Here is what some of the regular users of OneLane have to say about the service:
“It has changed my life! Knowing that someone reliable can collect my son from school and get him home safely and quickly is such a weight off my mind. I’m no longer running around like mad trying to fit everything in!” – Georgina, mum of a 7-year-old
“Once a week pick up from music class (cello lessons) and dropped home. I have more time in the evening to enjoy my life.” – Michelle, mum of a 10-year-old
Here’s a simple breakdown of the cost:
Journeys:
£0.50 per minute charged from booked start time (up to 5 minutes waiting time at the beginning of the journey is free).
£0.45 per mile travelled by car.
There is a minimum charge of £14 which increases to £16 at peak times (school runs 7:00am – 9:00am and 3:00pm – 5:00pm).
The minimum charge covers a journey of roughly 28 minutes and 4 miles.
Childcare:
£7 for every 30 minutes.
Maximum childcare duration is 2 hours.
Parents no longer need to face the struggle of attempting to be in two places at the same time and with Moira Wong Orthodontics entering into this partnership, we hope to completely eliminate the disruption to your day when your child has an appointment with us, whilst having the added reassurance of knowing that your children are in safe hands throughout the experience.
