What Affects the Cost?

Nanny pricing in Caterham depends on experience level, relevant qualifications (EYFS, paediatric first aid), the ages of children, specific responsibilities (homework support, meal prep, school runs), hours flexibility, and whether overnight care is needed. Experienced nannies with specialised training typically command premium rates. Local demand for childcare professionals in the South East, combined with Caterham's proximity to London, supports higher-than-average costs. Families offering flexibility and shorter notice periods may pay more.

Money-Saving Tips

Consider nanny share arrangements with neighbouring families to reduce individual costs. Choose nannies early in their career but with solid references. Agree upfront on overtime, holiday pay, and sick leave to avoid unexpected expenses. Building long-term relationships with reliable nannies often leads to better rates and loyalty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Caterham nannies paid wages or cash-in-hand?

Nannies employed as household staff must be registered with HMRC and paid via PAYE. Cash-in-hand arrangements are not legal. A household accountant or nanny payroll service can handle this. Costs typically include salary, employer's National Insurance, and holiday pay.

What's included in a nanny's responsibilities?

Basic duties include childcare, feeding, school drop-offs/pickups, and supervision. Extended duties may include meal prep, laundry, light housework, homework support, and activity organisation. Discuss exact responsibilities and costs before hiring, as added duties can justify higher rates.

How much holiday and sick pay must I provide?

UK law requires 5.6 weeks' paid holiday annually (pro-rated for part-time staff). Statutory sick pay is £100 per week after 3 days off. Many families offer 6–8 weeks' holiday. These costs should be factored into your budget.

Is nanny cost higher in summer due to school holidays?

Yes. Many families book school holiday cover in advance. Some nannies charge premium rates (typically 10–20% higher) for full-time holiday weeks, or families opt for temporary cover. Planning ahead helps secure better rates.
