I've just discovered this. It is so unfair! When will the government (any government, in fact) help families that employ nannies?? When you have two children, a nanny is cheaper then either a nursery or a childminder!! We are not rich!!!

Sorry, having a major rant!

Can someone explain what this is? We are thinking of hiring a nanny later this year, it sounds as though it may have got more expensive....

I asked my (conservative) MP about this, was a double whammy as came at the same time as the removal of reimbursement of SSP. He said it would be politically too toxic to do anything to help nanny employers.
