DBS
Everyone registering with us must already have or be willing to apply for an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service.
We are able to apply for a DBS on your behalf when you register with us.
The online disclosure usually comes back within a week but can take up to 12 weeks.
​
When you apply for your next DBS we request that you subscribe to the update service, for a yearly fee of £13. It means that you can give any future employer or Nanny Agency your permission to carry out an online status check.
Using the update service will save you time and money when looking for employment.
Ofsted Registration
It is not a legal requirement for Nannies to be on the Ofsted Childcare Register however if parents wish to use the Tax Free Childcare scheme then the Nanny will need to become registered and we recommend the parents pay for this.
The Nanny will need to register as a Home Childcarer and will need the following:
-
a recognised childcare qualification
-
a first aid certificate
The process can take up to 12 weeks to complete.
