Having an ofsted registered nanny simply means you get a small amount of help with payments to the nanny about 55 pounds a week depending I think on how much you pay them
Dont be fooled into thinking that because a nanny is ofsted registered they are any better than one who is not. Ofsted do keep the crb upto date but Ofsted never meet the nanny, dont know them and the only contact they have is through the post when registering. I think it gives parents a false sense of security
also being ofsted registered does not benefit the nanny in any way so you would be expected to pay the £103 pounds annual cost and also some or maybe all towards the first aid course which is 3 yearly.
The insurance is also between 50 and 100 pounds a year
hope this is helpful
