We speak to Alice Matterface, who, after training at Princess Christian College as a nanny and subsequently having an 18-year career as a nanny in London, decided to become a Tigerlily Childcare franchise holder in 2014, and has not looked back since. out in order to ensure a safe and ethical working environment is available for all. The team have found the market increasing dramatically over the past few years, as more parents are looking for full-time nannies and full-time childcare within the household, perhaps due to work commitments. Modern parents tend to favour a gentler approach to childcare, with less of a strict routine to be in place and an increased sense of understanding present in its place. This nurturing approach is offset by unfortunate staff shortages in the wider early year’s world, with less colleges covering the level 3 qualification in childcare, a decrease in staffing numbers was inevitable. Despite this, the rest of 2023 and beyond is an exciting time for the team at Tigerlily Childcare, as they are currently in the throes of substantial growth, expanding their teams and re-launching their nanny desk in the London area. The company hopes to have an additional new desk up and running in London by the new year, giving families even more devoted time from an expert consultant team. Whatever challenges the industry may face in the future, Alice and the team at Tigerlily Childcare will continue to deliver a unique and tailored nanny experience, improving the lives of parents and children immeasurably.
