Just interested. My nanny has two nanny friends who she sees on a daily basis and our children are all friends. I found out recently that I am the only parent of the three that allows their nanny to take her child on the tube and bus, One of the nannies hasn't been allowed to use either of these forms of transport for over a year - it's not just a response to the last few weeks. The justification is that the mother would 'never forgive herself' if something happened to her two year old when the child was with the nanny.
Until now, I've thought that this is very wrong. The other children have missed out on several fun trips my nanny has taken to local zoos, parks and museums and the like. Only allowing the nannies to walk (or sometimes takes a taxi) seems very restrictive - after all terrorist attacks and accidents could happen anywhere and you can't wrap them up in cotton wool can you? But I suppose today's evacuations have made me a little uneasy and I'm curious - would you let your nanny take your baby on the bus or tube in the current climate?
