4/5 of 28 days = 22.4 days - I'm not sure whether you round it up to 23 days or down to 22 days.

You can't round down. So the .4 could be rounded up to something workable based on the hours nanny works - such as to half a day, or a full day.

The 5.6 weeks entitlement includes Bank Holidays, so if you don't need your nanny to work on a bank holiday that falls on a working day, it can be taken as annual leave. Check the bank/public holidays in Dec/Jan as those are not always Monday's. Good Friday is always a Friday.

5.6 weeks paid holiday is the minimum entitlement in the UK.

if each of your nannys holidays were a week each then she would be within her holiday allowance ( i think ) :)
