Are you looking for a nanny, or need to locate a nanny agency in your area? The Nannytax agency directory is the UK's most comprehensive directory of nanny agencies and holds detailed information on over 150 nanny UK agencies, many of which place nannies nationwide.

Employing a nanny in the UK is not just about paying the correct taxes, you also take on a host of other responsibilities. For instance, you have to draw up an employment contract with your nanny within 2 months of her starting date and you must also give your nanny a payslip every time she gets paid.

It is a legal responsibility that you have employer's liability insurance, and you must also make sure that you pay your nanny the National Minimum Wage or above.

In addition you need to have a good understanding of the basics of employment law, because it's surprisingly easy to make mistakes when your juggling issues such as

• Holiday entitlement
• Statutory Sick Pay
• Statutory Maternity Pay
• Redundancy pay
