Compliance is critical to our last minute childcarers

Little Ones understands that bringing someone into your home to look after your little one can be a daunting task, especially if you are not able to go through a full interview process yourself.

Little Ones takes our vetting procedure extremely seriously, which is why over the last 15 years we have fine-tuned our compliance checks to a fine art. Our vetting procedure is comprehensive and will leave no stone unturned. Our consultants only work with last minute childcarers who are compliant and who they have personally checked.

You can be sure, every last minute childcarer we place in your home has gone through our extensive vetting procedure. This includes a face to face interview in our office, where experience is discussed at great length, copies of documents are taken and verbal references are obtained so that we are able to personally check them.

All of our last minute childcare providers are required to have two verbal references that our consultants are able to verify and all candidates must have a clear enhanced DBS certificate before we place them. If they do not have a DBS certificate, Little Ones is able to request one on their behalf before being placed in your home.

Being confident to react appropriately in an emergency situation is essential to all our last minute childcare providers. Little Ones will ensure your last minute nanny will have an Ofsted compliant paediatric frist aid certificate that they regularly renew. Little Ones holds Ofsted compliant courses regularly to ensure their first aid certificate is never out of date.

Our vetting procedure includes:

  • Face to face interviews in our Central London offices
  • Personally checking two verbal references
  • A clear enhanced DBS check
  • An Ofsted compliant first aid qualification
  • Identity checks
