Parents who employ an Ofsted registered nanny can receive some financial contributions towards their childcare costs. There are two types of financial support available: employer-supported childcare vouchers and working tax credits.

Ofsted registration is valid for 12 months and costs £103 per year, which includes the cost of an enhanced CRB disclosure.

There is no direct equivalent to the Ofsted register available in Scotland. Parents must employ a nanny through a nanny or childcare agency registered with the Care Commission. Wales has a childcare approval scheme.
