Our nanny started work for us on April 12 last year - I gave her a draft contract to comment on and it had never come back. I now need to make her redundant what are my duties as an employer (financial and process)

what was the notice period in the draft contract? she has worked for you for less than a year. why not just give her notice? is she entitled to any redundancy?
having read your other thread i personally would have summartily dismissed her when she was rough with my toddler IN FRONT OF ME

You can only make someone redundant if the job is no longer needed and will no longer exist. Is your child going to school/nursery/looked after by you?

I don't think you can make her redundant unless you are planning on using totally different type of childcare.
