for those hours, a nanny share would surely be more convenient and as someone already said it would allow your baby some time at home. if you find someone close enough, which in sw london is not that hard, your nanny should be able to work around both families. we previously did a full time share and the nanny just collected the other child a bit earlier and brought her round to our house for our start time when it was at our house and then took her back at the end of the day as i tended to get home earlier than the other family. we alternated houses every 2 weeks so we shared the convenience and wear and tear, food etc! you might not find someone with the exact same requirements but i wouldnt be put off, if they are close enough, your nanny should be able to work around it. it worked out about £1600 pcm for 8-630, barely more than the nurseries and way more convenient.
there is a great nanny share website where you can search by postcode but dont think i can post it on here!
good luck.
