Babysitting & Nannying
We seek parent feedback on every babysitter and nanny to consistently ensure we maintain the highest standards of childcare, safety, and reliability across all our babysitting services.
All carers:
Each of our trusted babysitters and professional nannies provide at least three verified references, which we’ve checked thoroughly to ensure complete peace of mind for families seeking reliable childcare services.
All carers are assessed for their level of childcare experience and are carefully matched with families according to their skills, preferences, and your specific babysitting or nanny requirements.
Our team members are well equipped to provide care in any home environment, ensuring consistency, comfort, and confidence for both parents and children.
We work only with trustworthy, DBS-checked, and capable child-carers, many of whom are qualified in early years education and professionally trained in childcare. Our network includes experienced babysitters, certified nannies, primary and nursery school teachers, medical students, maternity nurses, and registered childminders.
Some of our carers also have children or pets of their own, bringing added empathy and understanding to their childcare and family support services.
Screening process for our child carers:
Our rigorous process includes:
All hold an enhanced DBS check – ensuring every babysitter and nanny is safety verified and trustworthy.
All have passed an in-depth interview, assessing suitability, childcare knowledge, and communication skills.
All have relevant childcare experience, with many being qualified nannies, experienced babysitters, or early years professionals.
All are UK citizens, permanent residents, or have verified permission to work in the UK, ensuring compliance and reliability.
All provide a minimum of three excellent, verifiable references, each one checked thoroughly for authenticity and quality assurance.
We collect Photo ID and Proof of Address for every child-carer to maintain security and transparency.
All agree to The Forbes Partnership’s code of conduct and terms and conditions, reflecting our commitment to professional childcare standards.
All are issued with a verified ID Card as part of our professional babysitting service.
Some also hold up-to-date Paediatric First Aid certification, ensuring they can respond confidently to any child emergency.
Safeguarding clients and carers
At The Forbes Partnership Ltd., we make it our top priority to safeguard both our clients and our carers. Every step of our service is built around child safety, trust, and professional childcare standards.
We are committed to providing safe babysitting services and reliable childcare support that give families complete peace of mind. All of our babysitters, nannies, and child-carers are DBS-checked, first-aid trained, and carefully vetted through our strict safeguarding policy.
If we receive any reports or concerns of abuse, neglect, or unsafe conditions, we act immediately — contacting the next of kin, local authority, or police where necessary.
We also ensure that all child-carers and nannies work only in safe, respectful, and supportive environments, where mutual respect and clear communication are promoted at all times.
To maintain the highest level of childcare quality, we regularly request client feedback on every carer and babysitter, ensuring our childcare standards remain exceptional.
When appropriate, carers may wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) — such as a bib or gloves — during bookings, to prioritise health, hygiene, and safety for both the carer and the family.
