Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications do Harmony at Home candidates have?

Our nannies and maternity practitioners often hold childcare credentials like Norland, NNEB, CACHE, BTEC, NVQ or NAMCW diplomas. They may also have teaching or nursing qualifications, all of which we verify before placement.

How are candidates checked before placement?

Candidates are thoroughly screened: we conduct face to face interviews, check identity, qualifications, perform an enhanced DBS check, and speak to references.

What’s the benefit of using an agency?

An agency saves you time and adds expertise: we handle advertising, vetting and screening, so you get pre qualified, suitable candidates. Clients gain peace of mind because we meet candidates in person and ensure they’re fully vetted.

How long has Harmony at Home been in business?

Harmony at Home was founded in 2004, giving us two decades of childcare recruitment experience.

Do parents need Ofsted-registered nannies?

Ofsted registration is not legally required for nannies, but many nannies choose to join the voluntary Childcare Register. This allows parents to use government schemes like Tax-Free Childcare when hiring them.

What our customers say about us

“Thank you so much Frankie for the truly personalised bespoke service you gave us in our search for a new Nanny.

In a short period of time I got the perfect candidate for my family and the kids love her. I would recommend using your services to anyone. Alessandra Fumarola, London.

Alessandra Fumarola, London

Jean-Claude from Harmony at Home Nanny Agency Devon and Cornwall provided me with a consistently high quality service, which was very efficient. He quickly found me the right nanny. We needed childcare at very short notice, the nanny found was excellent, she exceeded our expectations and was very caring and capable.

Rose Griffiths, Cornwall

Many thanks for all your help in finding us a nanny. You really listened to what our needs were & managed to send the perfect candidate. Our own modern day Mary Poppins! It is going to make going back to work so much easier, knowing there is someone I really trust at home with my children.

Kate, mother of two, Bristol

Chris & I would like to thank you for finding our amazing Maternity Nurse. She got us up and running and into a routine quickly. The service you provided was excellent and very thorough. I can highly recommend your services, many thanks again.

Naomi, mother of one, Hampshire

Finding a new nanny is rarely a straight forward process, but it was made considerably easier for us once we contacted Harmony at Home. The hands-on insightful approach matched our requirements with the candidates’ expectations and experience. All in all, this resulted in us finding a great new nanny whom we are very happy with. Harmony at Home delivers a professional yet sensitive service which we would highly recommend.

Jason & Emma, Sussex

We felt the service was very professional and requests were dealt with very promptly. A number of very suitable candidates were available. We are very satisfied with the service, and have also had very positive feedback from prospective nannies too! Julia, London. Thank you for helping us find our nanny for our son. Things are going very well and she is absolutely wonderful with him. The service provided was excellent, you were very helpful.

Cathryn, mother of two, Kent

The service is fabulously efficient. Their staff are friendly and knowledgeable on a personal level. Great advice was given on all areas. A really lovely approach – we will be recommending for a fast track route to ‘Harmony At Home’ – it really works! Thank you so much.

Lindsay, Hampshire

Having previously used the Norland agency to find a nanny I was nervous about whether a regional agency could deliver to the same standards of quality and care. I believe that Harmony at Home did just that. The attentiveness, speed and quality of service provided by Harmony at Home Essex were impressive. One month in with our new nanny and both my husband and two young boys couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

Abi, Essex

Having just moved house and into a new area, Frankie at Harmony At Home was immensely helpful at a fairly stressful time and I am delighted with the Nanny we have found through Harmony At Home. We found the service Harmony at home provided to be very efficient, comprehensive and better than the other agencies we used.

Mrs K Hunt, Sussex

I needed a temporary nanny. I found the service Harmony At Home provided to be excellent and very efficient. They found me a nanny at very short notice.

Ann Kerr, Surrey

Harmony at Home was extremely helpful finding us a potty-training specialist in NW London. They were professional, resourceful, and responsive, providing us with a number of different care plans to choose from. We were given two different nannies to choose from, both with unique skill sets, and these were found within 3-4hrs of submitting the request (our requirement was very last minute!). Most importantly, the Harmony at Home service was very flexible – catering to our exact bespoke requirements (we have twin boys, aged 2). I will definitely be using the service again as our twins grow up. Thank you! Jason Green, North West London.

Jason Green, North West London

I have no hesitation in recommending this Nanny Agency, I was able to go to work knowing that my twins were happy and that the fit with the nanny sourced by Harmony at Home was right.
