nanny advice needed please

[Sublime]

Hi,

I am currently on maternity leave but might need to go back to work much sooner than I thought I would be. I have spoken to a few nurseries and was told that the earliest start is next September?! So I am now considering hiring a nanny but am not sure if it is a financially viable option. Can anyone help advise how much I would have to pay for a full-time nanny (8h to 18h)? She would also be doing school runs with my older daughter...

Thanks!

Can't advise about nannies but have you thought about childminders?

And don't know if practical for you but I can recommend my nursery, Under The Willow on Croxted Rd, if you haven't tried them yet!

Cheers

Thanks Elisabeth! I am on the other side of ED but it's always good to get a recommendation. One never knows :)

Yes, absolutely, I am also considering childminders. I just thought I should look into all options and see what works best logistically and financially.

Start between ?9/10 per hour net but with tax and ni that's between ?11 and ?12 per hour plus hidden costs of food, classes, transport and outings.
