Parents can you help?


TV company betty is developing a FACTUAL DRAMA about nannies and au pairs. We?d like to highlight some of the issues you face and it would be great to hear from you.


Hiring a nanny or an au pair can be a great solution to returning to work and ensuring your kids receive high-quality childcare. But, with prices sky-high, parents are all too often forced to cut corners and rushed into hiring the wrong person for them ? and there are times when for everyone it can go horribly wrong.


We?re keen to hear people?s stories that could be used to form our factual drama script. Your contribution would be in confidence and you would not be identified in the programme.


Whether you?re a parent, nanny or au pair, we?d like to hear about what the challenges have been for you.


If you?re interested in hearing more please contact Saskia in confidence on 0771 5111997 or [email protected]

Prioritising values can be a challenge. We all value the same things for our children, but we rank those values differently as individuals. It can be difficult to find a nanny that prioritises values in the same way you do as a parent (and even sometimes the two parents prioritise differently... arrghh!).

Thanks for your thoughts Saffron & for contributing, that's really helpful. It would be interesting to hear how other parents have negotiated talking about priorities.


If anyone has experienced a particularly challenging situation that they feel would be of interest for our factual drama research it would be great if you could email me [email protected] or call 0771 5111997 for a confidential chat.


Thanks and hope to hear from you.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
