How much would this type of childcare arrangement cost?

[Desperate2012]

Hi,

I'm thinking of putting a flexible working request to my employer. I'm 99% sure they'd accept, but need to be sure I'm not screwing myself on childcare costs!

I'm thinking of changing from FT nursery to 4hrs nursery daily then nanny 12-8pm mon-Thursday. This gives me 2hrs extra working mon-thurs meaning I can work 1/2 day Friday and get DS into the local nursery attached to his future primary on Fridays.

I'd like the nanny to also do some cleaning and cooking, and about 2x per month they'd need to babysit to about 1030pm as I travel for work.

Is this realistic? How much would it cost?

I live in surrey near guildford.

Very roughly 17,500 plus expenses. Based on 10 gross per hour. Not including the extra hours occasionally needed. Includes Employers NI estimate.

See some of my past posts for how to get a better figure by estimating activity costs, mileage payments, food for nanny on duty, taxation and payroll admin.

Thanks Nanny Nick. I did a search and couldn't find the thread your referring to- any chance of a link? Also, with gvt changes to law whereby small businesses don't pay NI for first x number of employees (number escapes me!) can we utilise this for employing nannies NI-free?

No the Employers NI saving does not apply to employers of domestic staff/nannies.
