London Nanny Agency Recommendations

We recently split with a nanny from Little Ones. She wasn't a good fit - friendly and responsible, just very passive with the actual childcare.

So I'm looking for London-based agencies anyone can recommend.

DD is four and needs care from 8-4 three days a week. No cleaning, no driving, just cooking for DD (often reheating leftovers or meal prep) and providing her with stimulating activity, attending playdate, and taking her on outings I arrange (zoo, musuem, London Eye) using Uber or the Underground.

As a nanny i recommended South London nannies . NappyvalleyNannies i found good too.

Ellie at WrightAdvice is great.

Katie at Arthur's House also very good.

Eden are a big agency who do a decent job. It's not the personal service of the other two I've mentioned, but they have LOADS of candidates so a better chance of finding the right fit.

I would avoid Tinies.

Catherine from South London Nannies is good. She placed me in my last job and I am hoping she can place me again. The hours you want sound fab by the way, I’ve been trying to find a part time nanny job with decent hours for a while! Please PM me directly if you want! I’m on the temp circuit currently and trying to find a more permanent job.

Tinies covers SW London from their Hampshire branch. I found the real life mary poppins on there!

Which part of London? I found my latest role through South London Nannies and thought she was excellent, I am pretty sure she covers central and West London too.
