🌟We have some amazing news! Our evidence has been accepted by the UK Parliament’s Education Committee!
Reference: EYS0001🌟
🤩We are incredibly proud to announce that our written evidence has been officially accepted and published as part of the inquiry Early Years: Improving Support for Children and Families.
Alongside this post, we have shared A.A. Milne's "Halfway Down the Stairs" as this is how this moment feels.
We are halfway there. We have climbed far enough to see some progress, but there is still work to do. It could go either way, but today we celebrate this step! 🥳
Fo the Nanny industry to be included in the national early years conversations is all we have ever asked for, and we are deeply proud we have reached this point. ❤️
Our submission highlights the urgent issues facing the nanny sector:
➡️The need for fair entitlements across the sector, including nannies and perhaps a tax relief for families employing nannies, instead of being included in the current funded model. (as we all know this what not compliment nannies)
➡️The pressure caused by the current government funding model
➡️The importance of consistent regulation and safeguarding across all childcare providers
We hope our points will be carefully considered as the Committee continues its work. Whatever the outcome, we are proud to represent this incredible profession and to show the wider audience just how special the nanny community is.

✨ A heartfelt thank you
To our association members, followers, supporters, and everyone who believes in us — thank you. Your encouragement motivates us every step of the way. We are honoured to support this industry and stand up for the dedicated professionals who care for children every day.
🌱 But to keep going, we need to grow.
In recent weeks, many nannies have contacted us for support. We are always glad to help — but we can help so much more when nannies choose to become members.
If you believe in our mission, if you value having a national voice, and if you want to see real, positive change for the nanny profession, please consider becoming a member.
