to think the nanny should not take the children on the roof

Well, I think it depends on what the parents have agreed with her, and whether there are other trusted adults around.

It's the tea parties in the ceiling that you need to watch out for.

whyever not? bloody health and safety beurocratic killjoy.

never did me any harm. nor me little brother neither and he actually got sucked up the nursery chimney once.

and we went on roundabouts too.

and for all those vermin fox hunting facists who are around the best bit was when the fox got rescued so there.

Well I presume she will have conducted a full risk assessment first? And established some basic safety requirements such as providing them with their own personal parachutes, or failing that umbrellas.

And I bet those sweeps have not been CRB checked either.
Bloody disgrace if you ask me.

Lucky you were home to see!
I always seem to be out at my suffragette meetings when my 2 get up to things.

trusted adults
one of them was dancing on the roof as well!!

My problem is my husband shows so little interest in the children: I am considering getting him to take them to work with him so he can bond with them.

think it's OK - wouldn't like her to let them jump down chimneys though. I use a cheap washing powder which just couldn't tackle the dirt.

Never mind the nanny, it's your husband you need to watch out for! I think his job is very unsafe - bankers are not popular at the moment!

Don't let her hang around with boyfriends in the chimney sweeping trade either. Children will be up on roof all the time, and they'll pick up dodgy midAtlantic accents if you are not careful.

Insist she checks the health and safety record of all local merry-go-rounds.

My husband was NOT that jolly when he got shitcanned!
