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!

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
