What Affects the Cost?

Several key factors influence nanny pricing in Greenwich. Experience and qualifications—such as NNEB, Ofsted registration, first aid certification, or specialisation in infant care—command premium rates. Location within Greenwich (zones 2–3) and transport accessibility affect availability and suitability. Hours required (full-time vs. part-time), flexibility with emergency cover, household responsibilities beyond childcare (light cooking, laundry), and the child's age all impact costs. School holidays requiring additional hours typically attract higher fees.

Money-Saving Tips

Share nanny costs with another local family through a nanny-share arrangement, reducing individual spend by 30–40%. Hire an early-career nanny with solid references but fewer years' experience—often £2–3/hour cheaper than highly experienced professionals. Plan school holiday cover in advance and negotiate fixed rates rather than ad-hoc arrangements to lock in lower fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do nanny rates in Greenwich include National Insurance and taxes?

No. The hourly rates quoted are gross wages before employer taxes. As an employer, you'll pay National Insurance contributions (approximately 8–10% of wages) plus provide statutory benefits. Payroll services typically cost £50–£150/month. Always use a registered payroll provider to ensure compliance.

What's the difference between a nanny and an au pair in terms of cost?

Nannies cost £12–£18/hour (fully paid professionals) while au pairs typically receive £80–£120/week pocket money plus accommodation. Au pairs are live-in, suited to full-time care, whereas nannies suit flexible, part-time, or temporary arrangements. Nannies are generally more qualified and regulated.

Are fees higher during school holidays in Greenwich?

Yes. Many families need additional full-time coverage during summer and half-terms. Nannies often charge standard hourly rates for extra hours, but some negotiate monthly retainers. Plan 4–6 weeks ahead and expect minimal availability during peak holiday periods (July–August).

What qualifications should I look for to justify premium nanny rates?

Ofsted registration, NNEB/Level 3 Childcare qualification, Paediatric First Aid certification, DBS clearance, and references are standard. Specialisations (infant care, special needs, bilingual education) and CPR training justify £1–3/hour premiums. Always verify qualifications independently before hiring.
