text: With a nanny your child's needs can be responded to moment to moment by one loving adult. In larger nurseries this is never going to be possible. A revolving door of staff means they often struggle to form bonds. With a nanny a big cuddle is only a heartbeat away.
  The day can be built around your child's individual routine - they can sleep when and how you want them to, they can attend the activities that they love and you have full control over their nutrition. Nurseries can be 'one size fits all'.
  This goes for learning too. A nanny can tailor your child's learning in the day around their own unique personality and interests.
  Comparing nanny and nursery (for your sanity)
  Having a nanny makes your life 10,000 times simpler. You can handover a Cheerio-munching pyjamas-clad child and start your day. And take back over when it suits you - not when the nursery late fines start. So you can focus 100% on getting your work brain back in gear.
  When your child is poorly a nanny can usually cover it. No sudden 48 hour childcare problems as they are banished from nursery. Plus, not mixing with a 30+ kids every day keeps the bugs at bay to begin with!
  And... let's not forget money. When you have one child nursery can be more affordable... but with two or more children a nanny makes more sense. Your older child can be picked up from school and shuttled to activities. Homework and dinner is covered for them too.
  Delivering early education
  One-to-one care supercharges potential
  One-to-one care means a child's individual needs can be responded to moment to moment by one trusted grown-up who cares deeply.
  This really matters. The early years lay the critical foundations for lifelong learning. Your child is forming 1 million neural connections a second and every moment matters.
  Research shows that one-to-one care from an engaging and nurturing adult more than makes up for the socialisation and structured activities of nursery.
  Early Years Foundation Stage [EYFS]
  Nurseries follow the Government programme for early years learning. We can support your nanny to do the exact same.
  We can provide extra training, for a reasonable cost, for your nanny to learn to track development and plan next steps - just as a nursery would. This would be delivered by experts with decades of experience running Outstanding nursery settings.
  Every nanny has access to an activity bank of over 350 activities mapped to the EYFS to help them plan each day around your little one's next steps.
  Forest education
  The best thing about your child being with a nanny is that they have the opportunity to be out in nature every day.
  We can train your nanny, for a reasonable cost, in outdoor learning so that they can make the most of the rich learning opportunities of the big outdoors.
  Childcare coaches
  We have teachers, experienced nannies and early years experts on staff at Koru Kids - all of whom are available to support and guide your nanny.
  If they, or you, have any queries big or small about how to best support and nurture your child - we're on hand to help with practical guidance, signposting to resources and coaching.
  No topic is off limits from tantrums to tickling or literacy to licking.
  Comparing nanny costs
  Two pre-schoolers
  If you have two young children your bill for double childcare is not to be sniffed at.
  Nurseries charge by the child so you can easily be looking at £3,500 per month.
  A nanny could often be less - and you get the convenience of childcare bespoke to your family.
  One little and a couple of bigs
  If some of your children are in school, having a nanny for your little one can make things simpler for your bigger kids too.
  No more paying for after-school club.
  Your nanny can be there at the school gates and get them shuttled off to activities or home for comfy clothes, play and a hearty tea.
  Nanny share
  If you have a local friend or family member also needing childcare a nanny share can be a great option.
  You can split the cost of the nanny between two families, making it a comparable cost to nursery with all the convenience of a nanny.
  Koru Kids can help you sort out contracts and all the admin headaches.
  Full-day nannies concierge matching service... in a nutshell
  £1,500 one-off fee
  This is different to our after-school nanny package where our service fee is wrapped into the hourly rate.
  Only payable on contract, this higher upfront fee reflects the more bespoke approach we take to personally finding you the right nanny for your family.
  Our fee is great value vs. other agencies (who charge a percentage that can add up to £5,000) and includes your ongoing payroll and employer support costs - saving you £500 a year to a separate payroll agency.
