Le Répertoire de Gaspard

What Le Répertoire de Gaspard does

Le Répertoire de Gaspard is a Paris-based English-speaking childcare agency that recruits, vets, and places anglophone caregivers with French and expatriate families across Paris and the surrounding Île-de-France departments (75, 92, 93, 94). Founded by Catherine Leroy as an initiative in 2006 and formally incorporated as an SAS in 2010, the company operates six core service formulas for families — school pickup, Wednesday care, school holiday care, under-3 care, English lessons, and babysitting — alongside a CAP Petite Enfance diploma work-study programme delivered in partnership with the Paris Institute of Childcare Training. Service delivery is fundamentally human-centric: families request personalized quotes through the website, are assigned a dedicated Family Liaison, and are matched with caregivers who have passed a multi-stage recruitment process. The company holds the only known English-language CAP training accreditation in France and is the holder of the Préfecture de Paris quality accreditation (SAP 522 963 040), which authorizes in-home care for children under three.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally minimal. The company's proprietary assets consist of a pedagogical content library (the Book About Me booklet, Weekly Words activity cards, and an English book library) used to support English-immersion methodology, plus a website with a quote-request workflow. Pricing is personalized per family through bespoke quotes (Devis sur-mesure) with no publicly disclosed rate cards, though specific benchmarks indicate €166.50 net per week for 15 hours of part-time childcare. Families access the French Service à la Personne framework, receiving 50% tax credits up to €13,500–€15,000/year, 10% reduced VAT, and CAF subsidies of €356–€712/month depending on the child's age, which structurally supports demand.

The business model combines subscription-style recurring placement fees on the family side with managed-services revenue from the CAP training programme on the supply side. Go-to-market is direct sales plus community-led: testimonials and word-of-mouth drive family acquisition, while a 'Refer a Friend' bonus, French classes, and social events drive caregiver recruitment and retention. The company employs 51–100 staff across its HQ and field workforce, holds LUCIE CSR accreditation, and has no external investors or parent company — operating as an independent founder-led personal-services business.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Yoopies: Leading French platform connecting families with nannies, childcarers and English-speaking caregivers. Direct peer: same Paris-centric childcare/babysitting category, overlapping caregiver supply, similar target families seeking English-speaking profiles.
• Babysits: International marketplace for babysitters and childcarers with a strong French footprint. Comparable as a two-sided platform matching families with vetted caregivers across babysitting, after-school and occasional care use cases.
• Nounou-Top: French childcare agency and online platform connecting families with nannies, babysitters and childminders across France. Comparable in the personal services / childcare matching category and price positioning.
• Family Sphere: French childcare and au pair agency offering at-home nanny placement, language immersion and shared au pair programmes. Directly comparable agency model with bilingual caregiver matching and Service à la Personne positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Kangourou Kids: Established French childcare agency specialising in at-home nanny placement, after-school care and babysitting nationwide. Comparable agency model but broader (non-English-specific) positioning and wider geographic coverage.
• People & Baby: Major French daycare and nursery chain with hundreds of crèches across France. Comparable as a large-scale early childhood care provider but focused on facility-based care rather than in-home English services.
• Babilou Family: One of France's largest daycare and early childhood networks, part of the Babilou group. Broad incumbent covering crèche, daycare and back-up care rather than in-home English immersion.
• Crèche Attitude (réseau Les Petits Chaperons Rouges): Large French daycare network operated under the People & Baby / Les Petits Chaperons Rouges umbrella. Overlaps in early childhood care but offers facility-based, multilingual crèche services rather than in-home agency placement.
• Super Nanny (TF1 / NT1 franchise): French childcare and parenting brand built around the TV franchise, offering nanny placement and family coaching. Comparable in the parental childcare services space, with established brand awareness but broader, less specialised positioning.

Emerging players

• Speach: Paris-based platform offering at-home English tutoring and language immersion for children. Directly adjacent as an in-home English-language service competing for the same bilingual-family wallet, but without the full childcare agency offering.
