Freedom Childcare is a registered umbrella body with the C.R.B. (Criminal Record Bureau) and has developed its own unique vetting system as follows:

Thorough interview (in Person)

Induction (outlining our policies)

Investigation into gaps in employment

CRB check

Medical Declaration

Verified Proof of any qualifications

Two verified professional references

Once all the application criteria has been met they will then be put forward for relevant positions within their work parameters.

We don't believe in sending families several applicants and again feel it is our role to try and get the match right within the first 3 interviews (first time hopefully)

You will then be expected to interview the suitable applicants and feedback to us on your decision, we can give you as much or as little advice or help with the interview - however the final selection must be your decision and is not to be influenced by us in any way.

Terms and conditions of employment

Once you have made your decision on your Nanny it is important that basic terms and conditions are discussed this should include pay, hours of work, start date, travel expenses etc. The next step would be for you to send a formal written offer of employment including these basic details. Freedom can again give you advice on the negotiation of these details and can act as a mediator between you and the Nanny if you require. 

At this stage we also require payment in full.

A contract of employment will then be drawn up to encompass the offer letter and any other details you and the nanny mutually agree on. Both parties should sign this and we can hold a copy on file.

We believe that our role doesn't end here and we will keep in touch with you and the nanny to ensure everything is still going smoothly. We can offer the service of a post commencement review to discuss on your behalf with the nanny their progress. At this time we can highlight any areas of improvement and access courses at nominal cost.

All nannies need time off and it's also wise not to put pressure on permanent nannies to work extra hours unless they want too.

Freedom can assist with flexible cover to accommodate any eventuality. This is available with 24 hours notice and membership to this scheme entitles regular users to preferential rates.

You will be required legally to pay NI contributions and Tax for your nanny; we can facilitate this service for you at a monthly cost of 10% of nanny's costs.

Our main focus is to have a Happy Family and Nanny and if there is anything else that we can do for you please ask.

All Nanny Recruitment terms and conditions apply.

If at any time we haven't been able to for fill our vetting procedure due to time constraints then you will be advised accordingly and you will make the final decision.
