Types of Childcare

Daily Nanny

Comes to your home to care for your children. Is generally responsible for only the nursery duties within your home such as your children’s laundry and home cooked meals, but will on occasion take on other tasks with prior agreement.

Live in Nanny

Lives with you and your family for all or part of the week, usually has a slight reduction in salary to cover household bills.

Before & After School Nanny

Comes to your home to help your children get ready for school and takes them there. Will also collect your children from school at the end of the day and assist them with homework, feed them, bathe them and entertain them until you take over.

Nanny Housekeeper

As well as caring for your children will take on a housekeeper role whilst your children are at school or nursery.

Junior Nanny

A candidate who is newly qualified or with little experience.

Costs involved

SalarY

A salary can be negotiated by both parties before contracts are exchanged. We strongly recommend this is a gross figure rather than net so you know your exact outgoings and will not be obliged to pay a higher tax or pension rate.

Here’s a useful salary and pensions calculator to help you estimate your Employer National Insurance and Employer Pension Contribution payments  https://www.nannytax.co.uk/what-we-do/free-tools-services/salary-calculator

You may be eligible for government contributions towards the cost of childcare https://www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare 

Pension Contribution

Within a few days we aim to send you handpicked CV’s of candidates who we trust would be a good match to your family’s individual requirements. Each of these candidates will have been interviewed and vetted personally by our in-house Safer Recruitment Expert.

Employers NI

May be due dependent on your employees salary.

Employers Liability Insurance

The vast majority of homes will already be covered as almost all ‘Household Contents’ insurance policies include cover for domestic workers such as housekeepers or nannies. This detail is usually in the small print so it’s a good idea to check with your insurance company that you are covered for up to £5 million before you become an employer.

PAYE

Although this can be managed by you it can become a bit of a minefield if it’s not your area of expertise. Having someone take care of all of your PAYE needs and communications with HMRC can cost as little as £12 per month including VAT. We work closely with and highly recommend PAYE for Nannies www.payefornannies.co.uk and Way2paye https://www.way2paye.co.uk/ who both offer trusted Nanny Payroll services. Please quote The Bee’s Knees Nannies Ltd should you make contact with either company.

testimonials

The Bee's Knees Nannies certainly lives up to the name!

The Bee's Knees Nannies certainly lives up to the name! Susannah is a consummate professional. Our enquiry was responded to right away and within a matter of a couple of weeks Susannah had found us our Nanny. She is extremely efficient and an excellent communicator, continually updating us regarding potential candidates and guiding us through the whole process from start to finish. We could not rate Susannah and her agency more highly. Having used a few agencies in the past we found The Bee's Knees Nannies to be in a completely different league. Our only regret is that we didn't find her sooner! Family

Absolutely amazing

Would use again in the future.

Bee’s Knees went up and beyond to find us a suitable nanny and was also able to offer temporary options to cover our childcare needs whilst looking for the right person for us long term. A warm recommendation for this agency!
Susannah at Bee's Knees was so helpful. I have found a wonderful family and after 6 months I had some questions and she was still willing to help me out and offer me some guidance with studying whilst working. It's been great and I know I can always talk to her if needed. Thank you Bee's Knees for helping me find a great family.
