NannyDirectory

This recently launched site aims to help parents in the search for childcare, whether they are looking for au pairs, babysitters or fully trained maternity nurses.


The site claims to have the most comprehensive database of nanny and childcare agencies in the UK. Run an agency search by county and you will be given contact details of relevant companies. It also lists basic information about employing nannies, hours of work etc, as well as advice on employment issues, such as tax and NI.


Links through to other sites are generally helpful and one in particular stands out, the Criminal Records Bureau, which gives advice on checking prospective employees' credentials.


This is a well designed site which provides a useful service and it deserves success.
