Hi Everyone,


I know there has been a million discussion on costs of hiring a nanny / nanny share etc but often it just states the hourly rate.


I was wondering if anyone has a sole nanny for 3 days per week, and how much it costs per month including tax and NI etc. I'm more than happy for people to PM if they would prefer. Alternatively if you have a full time nanny, I can always try and pro-rata it to get a very realistic idea of costs.


Many thanks in advance.

wow, thats really expensive. I've had nannies and the most I've paid was ?400 a week for 5 days at approx 6hrs a day.


It actually would be nice to get some openness on what people pay for childcare. I was a bit lost with some bad starts and then had some good advice to ensure crb check, first aid which are standard with ex nursery nurses but then to not accept anything less than a level 3 nvq in childcare. Its been really helpful.


My nursery is ?60 a day, I've just had a childminder quote me ?50 a day and we've had nannies and babysitters charge ?6-?10 per hour.

Letters, that sounds pretty much similar to what we pay for childcare. Our nursery is ?59 a day. We pay our babysitters ?5 an hour but I use teenagers for my toddler so it's cheaper. When our daughter was younger, we used a registered childminder and she was ?7.50 an hour for evening babysitting. Babysitting rates really vary, I think ?10 an hour is a bit steep, unless the sitter is first aid qualified etc.

    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.  
    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
