Introducing the National Nanny Association: Supporting Nannies and Families
We would like to introduce the National Nanny Association—a new organisation dedicated to raising the profile of professional nannies across the UK. As Chair of the association, Allie Bell, founder of The Nanny Connection, is committed to advocating for the recognition, regulation, and development of the nanny profession.
What is the National Nanny Association?
The National Nanny Association is a professional body created to support nannies, enhance their professional development, and promote high standards in home-based childcare. Nannies are a popular choice for families, yet the profession remains largely unregulated. The National Nanny Association seeks to change this by providing resources, advocacy, and a strong community for nannies across the country.
Benefits of Becoming a Member
Membership with the The National Nanny Association provides a range of benefits designed to empower nannies and support their professional journey, including:
- Access to Professional Development: Exclusive training details, discounts and resources to help nannies refine their skills.
- Advocacy & Representation: They actively works with policymakers to push for nanny industry regulation, ensuring better safeguarding and professional recognition.
- Networking & Community: Connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and build a supportive network.
- Exclusive Content: Members gain access to in-depth articles, research, and practical guides via the website.
Our Mission: Elevating the Nanny Profession
The National Nanny Association is dedicated to enhancing the quality, recognition, and status of nannies across the UK. Their goals include:
- Regulation & Professional Standards: Advocating for official nanny industry regulation to protect both nannies and the families they serve.
- Education & Training: Providing high-quality learning opportunities to ensure nannies stay up to date with best practices in childcare.
- Public Awareness: Raising awareness about the vital role nannies play in children’s development and family life.
Active Campaigns: Making a Difference
One of the Association’s most significant initiatives is ‘The Road to Nanny Regulation’, led by Allie Bell and Maria Culley. This campaign is dedicated to securing government recognition and formal standards for the nanny profession, following concerning cases of childcare abuse due to a lack of regulation. By engaging with MPs, they are working closely to ensure that nannies are fully recognised, respected, and protected.
In addition, they support ongoing campaigns focused on mental health awareness for nannies, promoting play-based learning, and advocating for fair employment rights.
How They Support Nannies
The National Nanny Association is here to champion nannies and provide them with the tools they need to succeed. Whether it’s through legal guidance, training, networking, or direct advocacy, they are committed to ensuring that nannies feel valued, supported, and equipped to deliver the best possible care to children.
