Slow and sure nannying

    News

    • | 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.
