We are often asked what will a Nanny do apart from look after the children. Alongside childcare their duties can include children's laundry, preparing children’s meals,, keeping areas used with the children clean and tidy, helping with homework and managing their wardrobe.

A nanny is not a cleaner and will not complete household cleaning duties, you would be amazed how many families thin k this is part pof the role!!  Clear communication is key and all expectations should be discussed from the outset to avoid misunderstandings and to ensure a good working relationship. 

 

No, Nannies are not required to be OFSTED registered.

It is an  entirely voluntary. scheme and is only required if a family is eligible for Tax Free Childcare which offer financial support towards childcare costs.

As well as the gross salary you may need to pay Employers NI and Pension contributions depending on their salary. ​

If your Nanny drives their own car whilst completing their duties e.g school runs, then you are required to pay 55p per mile for any journeys.  Then, also think about any activities - soft play, playgroups, day trips in school holidays.

In the vast majority of cases NO. If a nanny works set hours, cares for children in the employer's home, and follows a routine set by a single family, they are legally classed as an employee, requiring the family to operate a PAYE scheme.

The exceptions to this generally are temporary placements, roles where the nanny decides to hours/days they will work each week, they regularly work for multiple families, they can send someone else to do the job for them. To avoid any confusion you should contact HMRC to confirm employment status.
