For families, nannies and specialist recruitment agencies, their knowledge of the constantly changing rules surrounding the employment of nannies has been invaluable.

The paperwork, tax calculations and various other legal duties that come with employing a nanny have overwhelmed many. Nannytax takes this in its stride, with a team that knows exactly how to handle this sort of situation. From humble beginnings that boasted nothing but a computer, telephone, and calculator, the firm is now able to supply an all-inclusive payroll service, which includes HR support and bespoke contracts of employment.

They have proudly represented this vital section of the childcare workforce at events such as the Nursery World Show, the Childcare Expo and the UK Nanny conference. The team’s intimate knowledge has allowed them to help raise awareness of nannies as professionals, working alongside organisations that help them to develop their skills and qualifications. Recent years have seen the team invited to hold workshops at events such as the UK’s first Nannypalooza conference. Here, they ran sessions to ensure that nannies understood their statutory rights.
