Hi, sorry if this has been done before, just want to check I am being fair. My nanny needs to renew her 1st aid qual and is asking me if she needs to take time in the week from her holiday entitlement and who should pay for the training.

I am just about to pay for the renewal of her ofsted reg as I see that as my responsibility since I get the financial saving.

My initial view is that she needs to pay for the 1st aid refresh as she needs that for her insurance to be valid and to be employable as a nanny, but that I am happy she doesn't take the time as holiday

does that seem fair? What are your experiences of this?

Maybe go halves?

Sounds very fair -depending on how much it was, I would probably contribute to the cost too.
