What Affects the Cost?

Nanny costs in Egham are influenced by several key factors. Experience and qualifications (such as Level 3 Childcare or Paediatric First Aid) command higher rates. The number of children, their ages, and specific care needs significantly affect pricing. Full-time positions typically offer better value than ad-hoc hours. Location flexibility, willingness to undertake additional duties (light housework, meal prep, school runs), and whether the nanny is self-employed or employed through an agency also impact final costs.

Money-Saving Tips

Share a nanny with another family to split costs—common practice in Egham and nearby areas. Employ directly rather than through an agency to reduce fees. Consider flexible hours or term-time only positions if your schedule allows. Build a longer-term arrangement for better rates, and review tax-efficient childcare schemes like Tax-Free Childcare or employer childcare vouchers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register my nanny with Ofsted?

No. Ofsted registration is required for registered childminding or nurseries, but not for nannies. However, many families prefer nannies with Level 3 Childcare qualifications, current First Aid certification, and references. Direct employment means you have employer responsibilities including tax, National Insurance, and pension contributions.

What's the difference between a nanny and a nanny share?

A full-time nanny cares exclusively for your children. In a nanny share, two families employ one nanny who cares for both households' children on a rotating or combined basis. Nanny shares typically cost £10–14 per hour per family, significantly reducing individual costs while providing peer interaction for children.

Are agency nannies more expensive than direct employment?

Yes. Agencies typically charge 15–25% markup on the nanny's base rate for vetting, insurance, and support. Direct employment is cheaper but requires you to handle recruitment, employment contracts, tax, and payroll. Many Egham families use agencies for initial placements then shift to direct employment.

What's included in nanny rates in Egham?

Basic rates cover childcare, supervision, and age-appropriate activities. Additional services like school runs, meal prep, light housework, and holiday cover may incur extra charges or command higher hourly rates. Always agree on duties and any additional fees upfront in a written contract.
