Hi All,
Last time we had an ap I used Abacus, but utter seems they're no longer operating. I can't really be bothered with AP world if I can possibly avoid it.

Which agencies are good at the moment?Smile

You're kidding? I may try to dig an email out for Debbie. My premium membership on AP World just ran out...we're having a torrid time too.

LadyHarriet, I say that because the website is no longer working and I can't get in touch by phone. If you've got more up to date info I'd be v v happy to have it.

The whole thing is a ling long process isn't it? I'm a bit nervous to be doing the whole thing again.

I use aupair world, probably because I'm a bit tight. It's awful ! Hate hate wading through all the applications.

We are still with Pebbles, and have been happy with them.

I've used Richmond and Twickenham Au Pairs and Nannies since 2010 and have always been happy with them.

We use Pebbles and are very happy with them too! Good luck on your search (we can't be doing with au pair world either)

Does anyone know how to stop the 15 emails a day from AP world? We used Sunflower or something last time. Complete waste of £300. Will definitely used AP world this time. Our AP is amazing but that was nothing to do with the agent!
