My husband and I are expecting our first child and we're looking for information and advice about childcare, and in particular the cost of shared nannies. We like the sound of sharing a nanny with another family but have no idea of the costs involved.


We'd be grateful for any information other parents might be able to share; just trying to plan ahead for my return to work!


Thanks

Nadia

searching this forum for "nanny share" will give you loads of info. basically it's a fantastic option if you have a good nanny and two families committed to making it work, hopefully with one child each of roughly around the same age (though I'm sure other situations can work too) and living nearby or with the share based at one house.

Expect to pay a net hourly rate of ?9-?12, which one of the numerous nanny calculators online will show you what gross outgoing would be.

For 10 hours/day at ?10 net per hour, you will be paying something like ?66/day gross (the total coming out of your pocket) in a 50-50 split.

Additional costs include: a kitty for weekly outgoings such as meals out or pay playgroups, nanny's petrol and car insurance, nanny's Ofsted registration that makes her eligible to receive payments under your employer's childcare salary sacrifice scheme (if it has one), and any extras needed to make a nanny share work, like a double buggy.

good luck!

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
