Nanny Au pair Grandparents/<br />
family<br />
In your home. In your home. Either in your<br />
home or the<br />
grandparents’ home.<br />
A live-out nanny<br />
will normally care<br />
for children for 10<br />
to 11 hours each<br />
weekday, a live-in<br />
nanny for around 12<br />
hours a day, for 47<br />
or 48 weeks a year.<br />
Two evenings’<br />
babysitting each<br />
week is usual. Other<br />
hours by negotiation.<br />
Registration is<br />
voluntary. Currently<br />
around two-thirds<br />
of nannies are<br />
registered.<br />
Yes, if the nanny<br />
is registered<br />
with Ofsted or<br />
their agency<br />
requires these.<br />
Only if your nanny<br />
is registered.<br />
Usually up to five<br />
hours a day, five<br />
days a week, plus<br />
two evenings’<br />
babysitting.<br />
Normally two<br />
evenings’<br />
babysitting.<br />
Very rarely.<br />
The au pair should<br />
have a police check<br />
from their home<br />
country, and you<br />
may want to arrange<br />
first aid training.<br />
Not usually, unless<br />
your au pair<br />
can meet all the<br />
requirements of<br />
Ofsted registration.<br />
As negotiated<br />
between the parents<br />
and grandparents.<br />
Very often.<br />
No (unless the<br />
grandparent is<br />
also a registered<br />
childminder<br />
offering childcare<br />
to other families).<br />
Probably not,<br />
unless you choose<br />
to arrange them.<br />
No (unless the<br />
grandparent is a<br />
registered<br />
childminder).<br />
