Nationwide Nannies Saves the Day

Excitement is spreading across London as Nationwide Nannies helps local parents with childcare. The recently launched service allows parents to leave the house guilt-free for the first time in years. But what makes Nationwide Nannies so different? To find out, I asked the Company Director, Shafaq Hammad.

“I really wanted to create a service that had the ability to suit every family’s needs,” she explains. “One size never fits all, especially where children are concerned.” And this, it seems, is the reason that parents are so excited.

Founded by two veterans of the childcare sector, Nationwide Nannies prides itself on offering a wide range of practitioners and childcare services. Having previously set up and run a successful day nursery, they have a unique level of expertise.

“As a working mother of two I understand how difficult finding good childcare can be,” says Grace Peters, Operations Manager. “It takes trust to put your little one in another person’s care.”

For this reason, every potential candidate requires an up-to-date DBS check, solid references and the relevant qualifications. Nationwide Nannies believes you can never be too careful.

“We conduct all interviews face-to-face,” says Shafaq. “It’s about getting a feel for the person.”

I asked the team to explain what kinds of nannies were available.

Junior Nannies provide a helping hand with school-age children. We have Nanny Housekeepers and Temporary Nannies. A popular option with parents is a ‘Nanny Share’, where we match you with another family in the area.

“Our nannies are consummate professionals, so they are all experts in monitoring children’s development, providing stimulating environments and encouraging language skills.”

Phew! And if you thought that was all Nationwide Nannies do, think again.

They have a team of nannies that specialise in maternity care. Experts in their field, they offer a wealth of experience and knowledge as you introduce your newborn into the world. This includes practical help and support for the mother and any siblings. Understandably, demand is incredibly high so they advise you to book early.

Nannies, however, are not the only service that Nationwide Nannies offer. Parents are thrilled about their babysitting service. A parent from Richmond explains, “One evening, my partner and I went to try out a dim sum restaurant. We left our child to be babysat by a friend of a friend’s daughter. When we returned, at ten, our child was still awake and the babysitter had used all the nice teabags.

“She’s a very nice girl, but apparently not a childcare expert. The babysitters at Nationwide Nannies are handpicked, local and reliable. Such a big difference.”

It marks something of a childcare revolution. It is no longer unreasonable to ask that babysitters be experienced childminders. Surely it is vital that your child feels safe and reassured? In this vein, Nationwide Nannies always tries to place children with the same sitter. The babysitting service is the obvious choice for discerning parents.

Their Emergency Childcare service is another reason for a collective sigh of relief. Everyone knows that life has a habit of throwing you with the unexpected. From now on, childcare need not be an additional stress. Nationwide Nannies will be on hand to help 7am to 10pm, 365 days a year. They will provide you with a DBS-checked, fully qualified, safe pair of hands.

Does Nationwide Nannies live up to the hype? Considering that they provide both long-term and short-term childcare services, in a range of guises, I would have to say yes. For many parents, it is the ethos of the organisation that proves equally attractive.

For Shafaq and Grace, the success of their organisation lies in the trust between parents, children and themselves. The Director says, “I enjoy fostering long-lasting relationships with customers and practitioners. For me, the key to a successful business is open communication. I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients.”

To register for a nanny, all Nationwide Nannies asks of you is that you think about what kind of nanny you need. Back to Grace, the Operations Manager: “To get started, go to our website and fill out the inquiry form. Before we have a phone conversation, it is helpful to draw up a list of qualities your ideal nanny would possess. For example, if your child is bilingual, that can certainly be taken into account.”
