OFSTED REGISTRATION

Some families choose to employ an Ofsted-registered nanny so they can benefit from government support towards their childcare costs, including Tax-Free Childcare.

Nannies do not have to register with Ofsted, but they can choose to register voluntarily on the Ofsted Childcare Register. For parents to use Tax-Free Childcare to pay for a nanny, the nanny must be registered and meet the relevant requirements of the scheme.

As the registration provides a financial benefit to the employer, it is recommended that the employer covers the cost of the nanny's Ofsted registration.
