At Koru Kids, we’re passionate about every family finding the childcare they need to help their family flourish. Our upfront screening, rigorous background checks, and simple matching platform are just the beginning.
Beyond finding the perfect childcare solution, we provide your nanny with ongoing support and valuable resources to support yours, your child’s and your nannies well-being.
We’ve designed our process to make hiring a nanny seamless and stress-free. Our aim is to simplify your life, providing you with the peace of mind that your children are in capable and caring hands.
Our goal is to support your nannies in delivering the best care possible with upfront and ongoing training, plenty of resources, delicious recipes, and even an activity generator.
Our nannies report their shifts through our app, which you can easily approve, and then we handle the rest. We have a great customer support team who can help if you ever have any questions.
Our nannies’ cost will depend on their childcare experience, the number of hours of care you need and where you’re based. Our service fee is included in your hourly rate.
You’ll pay a one-off set up fee when you start working with your first nanny.
You’ll pay four weeks’ pay upfront when you hire a nanny (which you’ll get this back when the match ends.)
Some can, but the lots can’t. If your nanny can drive it will be marked on their profile.
All of our nannies speak fluent English. For most, it’s their first language, but many speak other languages as well. Our nannies come from a range of backgrounds, so just let us know on the registration form if you have any language requirements and we’ll do our best to send you nannies who speak that language. If it’s a bonus rather than a deal breaker, the number of potential nannies we can show you really increases.
We have a range of nannies if all experiences. Many of our nannies looking for after school shifts only have experience with older children but many others are willing to work longer hours and have experience with babies and younger children.
Top Tier nannies have been carefully vetted for their experience, so many will have specialist baby & toddler experience.
Look out for a run down of their experience on each profile.
Koru Kids nannies are not Ofsted registered. This means that you probably won’t be able to use government funding like Childcare Vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare.
Nannies may be willing to register with Ofsted independently, but the cost, time, and training required often makes it impractical. You can find out more in our Help Centre.
Nannies will look after your children in your home vs. a childminder who works in their home.
Nannies typically work for one family or two if it’s a nanny share. A childminder will look after children from multiple families.
