Do all parents just want Ofsted registered nannies now?

Trying to look for work but parents either don't want to pay tax or national insurance or they want ofsted registered.
I am experienced, qualified and only started nannying despite working in other forms of childcare for years. I don't want the expense of it as it seems it benefits parents more than the actual nanny? I know the argument would be that I would also get more work if I was to be ofsted registered but am surprised at how many are asking for it now.

Isn't that the only way to use tax free childcare to pay your nanny? If they are Ofsted registered. So basically it costs them an extra 2k a year or so to employ you if you don't have it

I've heard of Ofsted registered childminders, but not nannies.

I can't imagine many parents wanting Ofsted intruding into their homes. Is that even a legal thing?
