Hiring a Nanny in Scotland

Greycoat Lumleys Childcare & Education is registered with The Care Inspectorate to place Nannies and other Childcarers in Scotland.

In England, it is well known for Nannies to take the initiative and to become Ofsted Registered. But in Scotland, it is the Nanny agency that is regulated by The Care Inspectorate and it is incumbent on the Nanny to look for work through an approved agency.

After a rigorous and serious process, we were approved by The Care Inspectorate to place childcare staff in Scotland at the beginning of 2014. As well as the satisfactory completion of the paperwork, agencies are required to meet all The Care Inspectorate’s regulations in terms of good practice, meeting candidates, complaints procedures, post placement annual checks with Nannies, and much more, as well as being ready to be inspected at any time (much like an Ofsted assessment).

There are obvious similarities with the way the process works across the rest of the UK, though; the Care Inspectorate asks for the same vetting processes as we would naturally conduct when we meet Nannies and filter them carefully, including reference checks and checks via the PVG Scheme (the Scottish equivalent of DBS)

Quite different to the UK however, is the link between parents’ childcare vouchers and Nannies having to be registered through an approved agency and this is something which is worth double checking by parents.

If you have any questions about employing a Nanny in Scotland, or would like to know how to find a Nanny through an approved, recognised source, then contact the Greycoat Lumleys Scotland office on 0131 556 5139 and Charlotte Canby will do her best to help.

For clients in Scotland, we endeavour to provide Full Time or Part Time Nannies for Live In or Live Out, and Permanent or Temporary jobs.

This Nanny is a very kind and friendly lady. She has a wealth of experience of caring for children from her nanny background and experience within nurseries and from being a mother of 2. She is ideally looking for a part time position Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as she is most likely going to be kept on in her current job for 2 days a week (Monday and Tuesday). She is a very proactive nanny and loves to take children's lead on what they want to do whether that be a trip to the beach or painting, baking etc. She loves being outdoors and will go out for a walk at least once a day with the children she cares for. From working as supply in nurseries she is very adaptable to new situations and can hit the ground running. She likes to complete daily sheets for parents detailing what the child has eaten and done that day so that there is always a point of reference. She also likes to arrive 10 minutes early for work so she can do a hand over with the parents. A very confident and capable nanny.
