Led by a teacher who was also a nanny
Little Penguins Nannies comes from an unusual combination: a recognised teaching qualification and years of hands-on experience caring for children as a nanny. That dual perspective is what we apply to every placement.
A Different Kind of Nanny Agency
We built Little Penguins Nannies around a simple belief: children deserve more than supervision — they deserve someone who understands how they learn. Every family we work with gets that standard, applied consistently, from the very first conversation.

DBS & Safety, Verified
Every nanny holds a current Enhanced DBS certificate and Paediatric First Aid training, checked by us before you ever meet them.
Teacher-Led Vetting
Every nanny is assessed by a qualified teacher, not just a recruiter — we look for genuine educational ability, not only good references.
An Educational Approach
We match families with nannies who actively support a child’s development, not just supervise.
Boutique, Personal Service
You work directly with our founder — no call centre, no being passed between departments.
Support That Doesn’t Stop at Placement
We check in after the introduction, supporting both family and nanny as you settle in together.
Fair, Transparent Pricing
Clear fees agreed upfront, with no hidden costs — you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for.
