Find childcare: nanny / au pair

A nanny is an individual person who provides care for one or more children in a family as a service. Unlike childminders, nannies do not need to be registered and inspected, although some choose to join the voluntary part of the Ofsted Childcare Register.

Live-in nannies live with you and your family in your home. They need to be given their own room to live in as well as food and a salary.

Daily nannies will come to your home each day to look after your child/children but not live with you.

A nanny-share is an arrangement where you share a nanny with another family (if a nanny is shared by three or more families at any one time, they should be registered with Ofsted as a childminder).
 

You may be entitled to help with childcare costs.

You can find help and advice for choosing the right childcare for you on the Childcare choices website and useful guides from Coram Family and Childcare.
