COVID-19 Important information

Government advice states that the public are allowed to leave their house to travel to and from work where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home. This means that a nanny is allowed to work at a family's home if their work is essential. We strongly advise against nannies taking public transport. You can find out more here

You might be wondering…

How do your fees work? –

We charge £13 per hour for 9 or more hours a week, and £15.50 per hour for anything less. This covers everything from matching you with a nanny to running your payroll. There are no upfront or hidden fees. Find out more.

Are the nannies DBS checked and first aid trained? –

Once you’ve decided to hire one of our nannies, we'l carry out an enhanced DBS check, and invite them to attend our Paediatric First Aid training course. Find out more.

Do your nannies drive? –

Some can, but the majority can’t. So if you need a driver it does limit your chances of finding a nanny. Our nannies are all comfortable taking children on public transport.

Can your nannies look after babies? –

Some of our nannies have experience with babies and younger children, but our after school nannies tend to be only looking for work in the afternoons and evenings. If you’re interested in full day care for your baby or toddler, check out our free Family Finder which connects you with families looking for nanny shares in your area.

Do you have minimum hours? –

We ask families to commit to 9 hours a week during term time. This is so that the job is fair to our nannies and so they have income security. Find out more.

Are your nannies Ofsted registered, so we can pay using childcare vouchers? –

No, our nannies aren’t professional career nannies and work few hours each week. The cost to undertake the pre-registration courses required usually outweighs the savings parents could make by using childcare vouchers.

Don't just take our word for it

Our university student nanny Jack is great and, more importantly, our daughter really likes him. We're super happy! Jack is flexible, gets involved, is a responsive communicator and generally very nice.

– Clare, a mum in Willesden

With Koru Kids I feel like I'm being looked after. Someone's always at the end of the line - you're not completely on your own. I've been telling all my friends!

– Julia, a parent in Golders Green

Daniela often taught Spanish to my son on the way home and now he can speak it at elementary level. Our experience with Daniela was so excellent that we hope you can find another candidate like her.

– Yoshiyuki, a dad in Hampstead

With Koru Kids you have the assurance that someone's doing it properly and you don't have another form to send off, another blasted bit of paper, or potentially another password, another website I just don't want to get involved with. Everything is covered.

– Matthew, a dad in Kensal Rise

From the perspective of a nanny, Koru Kids are super supportive. From the application process, during the training and throughout my time with the wonderful family I was connected with.

– Rob, an after school student nanny in Kensal Rise

We have had a great experience with Eloise this summer. She has been fantastic. She has dealt with everything maturely and professionally and, most importantly, I think the kids are having a lot of fun.

– Sybil, a mum in Marylebone

You've been very good at communicating with me and keeping in touch, listening to what we were looking for and finding someone who could fit our requirements.

– a Koru Kids family

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the team for finding me Raya. She is so lovely and the kids love her. She's currently spending time with Adam and helping him with homework and he is actually listening which is a miracle.

– June, a mum in South London

I've had some bad experiences with childcare before, so I feel so relieved now. Saeda is brilliant, the kids love her, she's committed, professional, kind and easy going. She's everything I'd hoped for, plus she comes with backup from Koru Kids, which is really important. All of my boxes are being ticked... I feel like the nightmare of worry and headache has vanished.

– Jacquie, a mum in East London

Clear website. All done from my phone. Easy. Convenient. Prompt and efficient service. A nanny match straight away!
