Slow and sure nannying

    News
  • Wednesday, April 27, 2005
    • | Nursery World
News of 'speed nannying' recruitment events have horrified some of our readers, and one who's been spurred into action is Allison Marlowe. She set herself up in business as a parent coach, counselling families, after starting out as an NNEB nanny for three years, then teaching nursery nurses on DCE courses and having her own children. Allison was appalled at the idea of busy parents not putting time in to looking for the right nanny for their children. She's now launching Perfect Nanny Solutions, a service coaching parents on finding and keeping a good nanny, and will mediate at the interview stage or at regular appraisal meetings between nannies and their employers. She'll also tailor work/life balance coaching just for nannies, whom she thinks are under their own unique stresses, starting at 60 a session. 'It's an investment in their personal development,' says Allison. 'It's something that will impact on the rest of their lives - not something that gets worn out like a pair of jeans, which people would spend as much money on.' Allison's Pace of Life Coaching can be contacted on 02392 644 598.

Morton Michel insurance would like us to point out that the company's motor policy is not offered in conjunction with the National Childminding Association, as erroneously printed in last month's issue. Its own motor insurance policy for nannies and childminders is called MotorCare and details are available on the freephone number 0800 975 4898. Morton Michel has been specialising in various kinds of childcare insurance since 1964. It offers an overall Nanny policy, including public liability cover and employment advice, details of which can be found on the website www.mortonmichel.com.

No rubber stamp

As an Ofsted childcare inspector I am interested in the question of registering nannies, as it would be my colleagues and myself who would have to do the job (News, 17 January). Your cartoon (Letters, 31 January) shows an official simply rubber-stamping documents. I imagine that the actual process would be more complex.

Nursery nurse members of Unison in West Yorkshire

    News
  • Wednesday, July 2, 2003
    • | Nursery World
Nursery nurse members of Unison in West Yorkshire have settled a long-running pay dispute with the local authority, which puts them among the highest-paid nursery nurses in the north of England. Members of the Kirklees branch voted to accept the council's offer on 23 June, following nine days of strikes in April and May. The new pay structure brings nursery nurses closer in line with classroom assistants, who can earn up to 15,000 a year, following an agreement with the council in November last year. Meanwhile more than 100 nursery nurse members of Unison in the London borough of Tower Hamlets have been out on strike since 13 June over the LEA's decision to change their 52-week contracts to 'term-time only'.

British Dental Foundation propose ban

    News

A ban on sales of fizzy drinks and sugary snacks on all healthcare and education premises has been proposed by the British Dental Foundation, which called for the ban after NHS Tayside in the Angus, City of Dundee and Perth and Kinross areas of Scotland announced last week that it is to stop stocking unhealthy drinks in vending machines and canteens. BDF chief executive Dr Nigel Carter said, 'Sugary products taken between meals are the main cause of tooth decay, which can lead to fillings and extractions. Poor diet has been linked with gum disease, which not only threatens tooth loss, but overall health. Research is proving time and again that gum disease is linked to diabetes, heart disease, strokes, and premature and low birth-weight babies.'
