The Association of Nanny Agencies
Code of Standards of Best Practice
These Standards are based on a set of high
principles that were formed as a result of consultation with over 50
nanny agencies UK wide. They recognise that parents rightly demand a
high standard of service, nannies deserve the respect these
Standards provide, and, most importantly aim to ensure that agencies
do all that is reasonably possible to ensure that the experience of
children cared for in their own home is a safe and positive one.
These Standards are listed in no particular order as they are each
of equal importance.

Fulham is an area of south west London
in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, located 3.7 miles
(6.0 km) south west of Charing Cross. It is situated in between
Putney and Chelsea.
Fulham was formerly the seat of the diocese of "Fulham and
Gibraltar", and Fulham Palace the former official home of the Bishop
of London, (now a museum), the grounds of which are now divided
between public allotments and an elegant botanical garden.
Two Premiership football clubs, Fulham and Chelsea, are situated in
Fulham. The former Lillie Bridge Grounds (which hosted the second FA
Cup final and the first ever amateur boxing matches) was also in
Fulham.

Fulham Broadway
is a famous street within the area although it is often used to name
the area in the immediate vicinity of the street and the station.
From 1880-1952, Fulham Broadway underground station was called
Walham Green. The station itself is now set inside Fulham Broadway
shopping centre.
However the modern name of Walham Green is now known as the Moore
Park Estate, regarded as one of the most desirable parts of Fulham
to own a property. Houses are frequently sold at well above
the million threshold with investment from city professionals
'playing the property market' very high. Many
property developments often take place, particularly in Waterford
Road where 8 properties are being refurbished for investment
purposes.
Some of the roads included in the conservation area include:
Moore Park Road, Holmead Road, Rumbold Road, Maxwell Road, Brittania
Road, Waterford Road, Fulham Broadway, Kings Road and Fulham Road
The area predominantly consists of middle-class professionals and
families. Residents include Gloria Hunniford and Loyd Grossman.
Nearby attractions include the bars, clubs and restaurants of the
Kings Road, Fulham Broadway and Imperial Wharf.

Fulham F.C. used to play on) at its centre, and is served by Parsons
Green tube station.

Chelsea
is an area of south west London, bounded to the south by the River
Thames, where its frontage runs from Chelsea Bridge along the
Chelsea Embankment, Cheyne Walk, Lots Road and Chelsea Harbour. Its
eastern boundary was once defined by the River Westbourne, which is
now in a pipe above
Sloane Square tube station. The modern eastern boundary is Chelsea
Bridge Road and the lower half of Sloane Street, including Sloane
Square. To the north and northwest, the area fades into
Knightsbridge and South Kensington, but it is safe to say that the
area north of King's Road as far northwest as
Fulham Road is part of Chelsea.
The district is now part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and
Chelsea. From 1900, and until the creation of the Greater London in
1965, it formed the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea in the County of
London.
Chelsea was once famous for the manufacture of Chelsea buns (made
from a long strip of sweet dough tightly coiled, with currants
trapped between the layers, and topped with sugar). The area is
still famous for its "Chelsea China" ware, though the works, the
Chelsea porcelain factory – thought to be the first workshop to make
porcelain in England – were sold in 1769, and moved to Derby.
Examples of the original Chelsea ware fetch high values.
The best-known building is Chelsea Royal Hospital for invalid
soldiers, set up by Charles II (supposedly on the suggestion of Nell
Gwynne), opened in 1694. The beautifully proportioned building by
Christopher Wren stands in extensive grounds, where the Chelsea
Flower show is held annually. There was also until recently the Duke
of York's Barracks off King's Road; now the Duke of York's Square,
it was redeveloped into shops and cafes and is the site of the
weekly farmers' market. The Saatchi Galleray will be opening in the
main building in spring 2008. Chelsea Barracks, at the end of Lower
Sloane Street, was also in use until recently, primarily by
ceremonial troops of the Household Division. Situated on the
Westminster side of Chelsea Bridge Road, it was bought by a property
group for re-development
The Chelsea Society, formed in 1927, remains an active amenity
society concerned with preserving and advising on changes in
Chelsea's built environment. Chelsea Village and Chelsea Harbour are
new developments outside of Chelsea itself.
Chelsea Football Club has its grounds at Stamford Bridge, and so is
in neighbouring Fulham Broadway, not in Chelsea.

Kensington
is a district of West London, England within the Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea, located 2.8 miles (4.5 km) west of Charing
Cross. An affluent and densely populated area, its commercial heart
is Kensington High Street and it contains the well-known museum
district of South Kensington.
To the north, Kensington is bordered by Notting Hill. To the east,
Kensington is bordered by Brompton and Knightsbridge. To the south,
Kensington is bordered by Chelsea and Earl's Court. To the west,
Kensington is bordered by Hammersmith and Shepherd's Bush.
The edges of Kensington are not well-defined; in particular, the
southern part of Kensington blurs into Chelsea, which has a similar
architectural style. To the west, a transition is made across the
West London railway line and Earl's Court Road further south into
other districts, whilst to the north, the only obvious dividing line
is Holland Park Avenue, to the north of which is the similar
district of Notting Hill.
In the north east, the large Royal Park of Kensington Gardens
(contiguous with its eastern neighbour, Hyde Park) is an obvious
buffer between Kensington and areas to the north east. The other
main green area in Kensington is Holland Park, just north of
Kensington High Street, whilst Kensington has numerous small
residential garden squares.

South Kensington
is a district in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in
London. It is a built-up area located 2.4 miles (3.9 km) west
south-west of Charing Cross.
It is hard to define notional boundaries for South Kensington, but a
common definition is the commercial area around the south kensington
tube station and the adjacent graceful garden squares and streets
(such as Thurloe Square, opposite the Victoria and Albert Museum).
The smaller neighborhood around
Gloucester Road tube station can also be considered part of South
Kensington, as well as the institution area around Exhibition Road,
which includes such famous names as the Natural History Museum,
Science Museum, Baden-Powell House, Royal Albert Hall, Imperial
College London, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Royal College of
Music, although this part is officially part of the small area known
as Knightsbridge. Although the postcode SW7 stands for South
Kensington, some parts of Kensington also fall under this postcode.
Only the area south of Cromwell Road is regarded as South
Kensington.

Knightsbridge
is a road which gives its name to an exclusive district lying to the
west of Central London. The road runs along the south side of Hyde
Park, west from Hyde Park Corner, spanning the City of Westminster
and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Up to Brompton
Road, it is a part of
the A4 arterial road, while the remainder is part of the A315.
The eponymous district comprises the areas immediately surrounding
Knightsbridge (the road) on the north, Sloane Street to its junction
with Pont Street, and Brompton Road to its junction with Beauchamp
Place. The district is notable as an expensive residential area, and
for the density of its upmarket retail outlets, famously Harrods and
Harvey Nichols.

Belgravia
is a district of central London in the City of Westminster, situated
to the south west of Buckingham Palace. Belgravia is approximately
bounded by Knightsbridge to the north (the street of that name, not
the district), Grosvenor Place and Buckingham Palace Road to the
east, Pimlico Road to the
south, and Sloane Street to the west. The westernmost streets within
this area are in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and
can alternatively be considered to be in Knightsbridge and Chelsea.

Putney
is a district of south west London in the London Borough of
Wandsworth. It is located 5.1 miles (8.2 km) south west of Charing
Cross, on the southern bank of the River Thames, opposite Fulham.
Putney as a river crossing
Putney appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Putelei. It was noted
that it was not a manor, but obtained 20s from the ferry or market
toll at Putney belonging to Mortlake.
The ferry was mentioned in the household accounts of Edward I
(1272-1307) where Robert the Ferryman of Putney and other sailors
were paid 3/6d for carrying a great part of the royal family across
the Thames and also taking the king and his family to Westminster.
One famous crossing at Putney was that of Cardinal Wolsey in 1529
upon his 'disgrace' in falling out of favour with Henry VIII and on
ceasing to be the holder of the Great Seal of England. As he was
riding up Putney Hill he was overtaken by one of the royal
chamberlains who presented him with a ring as a token of the
continuance of his majesty's favour. When the Cardinal had heard
these good words of the king, he quickly lighted from his mule and
kneeled down in the dirt upon both knees, holding up his hands for
joy, and said "When I consider the joyful news that you have brought
to me, I could do no less than greatly rejoice. Every word pierces
so my heart, that the sudden joy surmounted my memory, having no
regard or respect to the place; but I thought it my duty, that in
the same place where I received this comfort, to laud and praise God
upon my knees, and most humbly to render unto my sovereign lord my
most hearty thanks for the same."
The first bridge of any kind between the two Putney parishes was
built during the Civil War after the Battle of Brentford in 1642,
the Parliamentary forces built a bridge of boats between Fulham and
Putney. According to a newspaper article of the day;
"The Lord General hath caused a bridge to be built upon barges and
lighters over the Thames between Fulham and Putney, to convey his
army and artillery over into Surrey, to follow the king's forces;
and he hath ordered that forts shall be erected at each end thereof
to guard it; but for the present the seamen, with long boats and
shallops full of ordnance and musketeers, lie there upon the river
to secure it."
The first permanent bridge between Fulham and Putney was completed
in 1729, and was the second bridge to be built across the Thames in
London (after London Bridge).
One story runs that "in 1720 Sir Robert Walpole was returning from
seeing George I at Kingston and being in a hurry to get to the House
of Commons rode together with his servant to Putney to take the
ferry across to Fulham. The ferry boat was on the opposite side,
however and the waterman, who was
drinking in the Swan, ignored the calls of Sir Robert and his
servant and they were obliged to take another route. Walpole vowed
that a bridge would replace the ferry."
Now there is much less commercial traffic on the river at Putney
(partly because the many buttresses of the original Putney Bridge
restricted the transit of large river boats) ensuring more suitable
water for rowing. The river was also cleaner at Putney.

Barnes
is an affluent, riverside London suburb in the London Borough of
Richmond upon Thames. It is located around 5.8 miles (9.3 km) west
south west of Charing Cross in a loop of the River Thames, with
Hammersmith Bridge at the north end. With its relatively secluded
location (the river acts as a barrier to much through traffic) and
elegant houses, Barnes is often seen as a quieter place to live than
the alternatives of Fulham, Kensington or Chelsea.
A permanent tourist attraction in Barnes is the WWT London Wetlands
Centre, next to Barn Elms, comprising over 40 hectares of artificial
wetlands created on the site of a former barnes reservoir as a bird
sanctuary. Barnes also has an attractive village green and duck pond
(recently rebuilt after a series of leaks).

Kingston upon Thames is the
principal settlement of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in
south west London.
Kingston was one of the Boroughs to be reformed by the Municipal
Corporations Act 1835, becoming a municipal borough. It retained
this status until the London Government Act 1963 came into force in
1965, merging Kingston upon Thames with Surbiton and Malden & Coombe
Councils to form part of the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
At the request of the Council, Queen Elizabeth II granted Kingston
another Royal Charter in 1965 entitling it to continue using the
title "Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames" for the enlarged
Borough. Before becoming part of Greater London in 1965, Kingston
was in the county of Surrey, and some confusion continues because
the county hall and offices of Surrey County Council are still in
Kingston. For river users, Kingston is still on the "Surrey" bank.
For much of the 20th century, Kingston was a major military aircraft
manufacturing centre - first with Sopwith, then Hawker Aviation and
eventually British Aerospace.
The growth and development of Kingston Polytechnic and its
transformation into Kingston University has made Kingston a
university town.
Southfields
is a suburban district in the London Borough of Wandsworth, situated
5.6 miles (9 km) south west of Charing Cross. Southfields is located
partly in the SW18 postcode area and partly in SW19.

Earlsfield
is an area within the London Borough of Wandsworth, south west
London.
Earlsfield is a typically London suburb and comprises mostly
residential Victorian terraced houses with a high street of shops,
bars, and restaurants (very few chain stores) between Garratt Lane,
Allfarthing Lane, and Burntwood Lane. Although it has had a slow
start and lags behind its neighbour Clapham, Earlsfield - with its
schools and family facilities as well as its primary transport link
(see Earlsfield railway station) into central London -
now has a strong housing market with prices continuing to outpace
average house-price inflation.
The River Wandle flows parallel to the main road through the area,
and has been the subject of a major, council funded clean-up
operation. There is some light industry located between the high
street and the river. It is not as well known as its neighbouring
areas such as Tooting, Clapham, Balham, and
Battersea, which allows for a low key way of life while still being
close enough to the bright lights and excitement of London. The
local Earlsfield railway station provides for quick journeys to
Central London (3 stops to Waterloo [Clapham Junction, Vauxhall,
Waterloo] in 12 minutes) and other South London (Victoria - changing
at Clapham Junction, Wimbledon one stop) areas.

Wimbledon
is a town with a distinct identity in South West London. It has two
parts, the "Village", which is the original settlement on a hill and
the "Town", in the valley below, which developed around the railway.
Wimbledon is famous for its Common and of course the Tennis. It is a
night-time
destination for south west London and increasingly central London.
Wimbledon is ten minutes walk from Wimbledon centre, and is most
obviously recognised by the busy crossroads at which South Wimbledon
Underground station is situated on one corner.
Wimbledon has been inhabited since at least the Iron Age when the
hill fort on Wimbledon Common is thought to have been constructed.
The original centre of Wimbledon was at the top of the hill close to
the common - the area now known locally as "the village".
In 1087 when the Domesday Book was compiled, Wimbledon was part of
the manor of Mortlake. The ownership of the manor of Wimbledon
changed hands many times during its history. The manor was held by
the church until 1398 when Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of Canterbury
fell out of favour with Richard II and was exiled. The manor was
confiscated and became crown property.
Wimbledon's attraction remains its combination of convenient access
to central London with the benefit of plentiful recreational
facilities. Strong demand for homes, especially the larger
properties in the Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Park areas, has
seen prices increase to amongst the highest in the outer London
area.
Wimbledon Village provides a good collection of bistros, restaurants
and pubs and during the fortnight of the tennis championship the
streets are crowded with visitors enjoying the facilities. The newly
reopened New Wimbledon Theatre on the Broadway is also popular
throughout London.

South Wimbledon
is a place in the London Borough of Merton in south west London.
Historically, it is the centre of the parish of Merton which
contributes its name to the wider borough.
It is ten minutes walk from Wimbledon centre, and is most obviously
recognised by the busy crossroads at which South Wimbledon
Underground station is situated on one corner.

Roehampton
is a large district in south west London, forming the western end of
the London Borough of Wandsworth. It lies between the town of Barnes
to the north and the large Wimbledon Common to the south. Richmond
Park Golf Courses (Dukes and Princes) are west of the neighbourhood,
and just north of these is the Roehampton Gate entrance to Richmond
Park itself - the largest of London's royal parks. Roehampton is 6.3
miles (10.1 km) south west of Charing Cross.

Wandsworth Town
is an exclusive town on the south bank of the River Thames in south
west London. It is at the centre of the London Borough of Wandsworth,
made up of Balham, Battersea, Clapham Junction, Earlsfield, Nine
Elms, Putney, Roehampton, Southfields, and Tooting. Wandsworth takes
its name from the River Wandle, which enters the Thames at
Wandsworth. Many people say they live in Wandsworth, but are
referring to the borough rather than the town. Wandsworth town is a
relatively small, roughly triangular-shaped stretch of land, running
down to the Thames.
Wandsworth, like its neighbour Battersea, is a town of extremes (a
fact highlighted in the film Love Actually) containing some light
industry and warehouse sites, rapidly being surrounded by luxury
riverside housing. The last twenty years has seen Wandsworth join
the ranks of the most expensive and desirable London towns. In
February 2007 the Evening Standard placed Wandsworth as a borough
with the third most million-pound property sales in the capital,
behind Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster. Many of these sales are
due to Wandsworth (The Wandsworth Town) rapid riverside development,
catering for the Chelsea overspill.
Since at least the early 16th century, Wandsworth has offered
accommodation to consecutive waves of immigration; from Protestant
Dutch metalworkers fleeing persecution in the 1590s, to recent
Eastern European members of the European Union.[2] An influx of
French Huguenot refugees in the early 17th century is remembered in
many local street names. There is a band of small and expensive
terraced housing (known as The Tonsleys) behind Old York Road — the
former centre of old Wandsworth — rising to an area of grander,
terraced, semi-detached and detached housing along the roads bounded
by West Side Wandsworth Common, Earlsfield Road and East Hill. In
contrast, at the base of East Hill is a collection of high-rise
council blocks.
Wandsworth has a greater proportion of people whose lifestyle, views
and trends shape the zeitgeist more than anywhere else in the UK.
Wandsworth, in other words, is groovier than everywhere else in
London.
According to the Evening Standard " Wandsworth is the hotspot" for
those people in London earning over £100,000.

Wandsworth Common
is a public common in Wandsworth, south west London. It is close to
Clapham Common and Wandsworth Common railway station. It is wholly
in the London borough of Wandsworth. It is 73 hectares (175 acres)
large.
There is a large area to the east of the train line, which is mainly
used for competitive sports (mainly football, touch rugby and
rounders). There are a number of ponds and a lake, which can be used
for fishing (with a permit).
Houses on the Wandsworth (SW18) side are in the what is known as the
'Toast Rack' and are large Victorian semis and detached homes, some
with blue plaques denoting notable residents who previously lived
there.

Battersea
is an area of London lying on the south bank of the River Thames.
Roughly triangular in shape, its northern boundary is the Thames, as
it runs first north-east, and then east, before turning north again
to pass Westminster. Its north eastern corner is one mile (1.6 km)
due south of the Palace of Westminster; the north western corner is
demarcated by Wandsworth Bridge and Battersea tapers south to a
point roughly three miles (5 km) from the north eastern corner and
two miles (3 km) from the north west.
The area takes its name from the old village of Battersea, an island
settlement established in the river delta of the Falconbrook; a
river that rises in Tooting Bec Common and flows underground through
south west London to the River Thames. The site of the original
settlement is marked by St. Mary's Church. Battersea is mentioned in
Anglo-Saxon time as Badrices. As with many former Thames island
settlements, Battersea was reclaimed by draining marshland and
building culverts for streams.

Clapham
is an area of South west London, in the London Borough of Lambeth.
Clapham dates back to Anglo-Saxon times: the name is thought to
derive from the Old English, meaning Homestead/enclosure near a
hill.
According to the history of the Clapham family maintained by the
College of Heralds, in 965 AD King Edgar of England gave a grant of
land at Clapham to Jonas, son of the Duke of Lorraine, and Jonas was
thenceforth known as Jonas "de [of] Clapham". The Clapham family
remained thereafter, primarily in Yorkshire).
Clapham appears in Domesday Book as Clopeham. In the late
seventeenth century large country houses began to be built there,
and throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth century it was
favoured by the wealthier merchant classes of the City of London,
who built many large and gracious houses and villas around Clapham
Common and in the Old Town. Samuel Pepys spent the last two years of
his life in Clapham, living with his friend, protégé at the
Admiralty and former servant William Hewer, until his death there in
1703.
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the Clapham
Sect were a group of upper class (mostly evangelical Anglican)
social reformers who lived around the Clapham Common.
After the coming of the railways, Clapham developed as a suburb for
commuters into central London, and by 1900 it had fallen from favour
with the upper classes. Clapham was seen as an unremarkable London
suburb, often cited as representing the ordinary people: hence the
so-called "man on the Clapham omnibus".
However, in recent years it has undergone considerable regeneration,
and is now regarded as a fashionable place to live for the London
middle classes, within easy commuting distance of the city centre
and the main railway termini for transport to airports at London
Heathrow and London Gatwick and the south of England.
Clapham was located in the county of Surrey until the creation of
the County of London in 1889. It became part of the new Metropolitan
Borough of Wandsworth in 1900. In 1965, Clapham was transferred to
the London Borough of Lambeth.

West Brompton
is an area of West London, within the Royal Borough of Kensington
and Chelsea. The name refers to the older locality of Brompton to
the east, although the areas of South Kensington and Earl's Court
separate the West Brompton from its namesake. Whilst in the early
part of the 20th century,
the whole area between Knightsbridge and here would have been known
as Brompton, modern-day locals would not recognise Brompton and West
Brompton as geographically continuous. But today it still has its
own Royal Mail London postcode of SW10.
The area now referred to as West Brompton centres on the Underground
& railway station with the same name. The most notable place of
interest in West Brompton is Brompton Cemetery. The Earl's Court
exhibition centre is literally across the road from the station, but
has its main entrance elsewhere and is generally associated with the
adjacent locality of Earl's Court. In reality, the number of
households who might identify themselves as part of West Brompton
would probably be those within the catchment area of the Underground
station. Other places include Chelsea Harbour, the now former London
Transport Lots Road power station and the Finborough Theatre.
West Brompton is bounded by West Kensington and Earl's Court to the
north, Chelsea to the east, Fulham Broadway to the south and Fulham
to the west.
The nearest significant local centres are North End Road to the west
(which includes a street market), Fulham Broadway to the south and
Earl's Court to the north.

Chiswick
grew up as a fishing village around St. Nicholas church on Church
Street, but the name Chiswick later became used for a wider area,
formed originally by merging the four villages of Chiswick,
Strand-on-the-Green, Little Sutton and Turnham Green. By 1815,
Chiswick parish included all the area
bounded by the loop of the Thames, the High Road west of Turnham
Green, the north side of Chiswick Common and Bath Road to Goldhawk
Road. In 1896, "Bedford Park, Chiswick" was advertised, which at
that time was partly in Acton Urban District.

What is a Temporary Nanny Position?
A temporary nanny position is one that a nanny may fill for
occasions that arise with a family. Often, a temporary nanny is
registered with a nanny agency and is hired strictly to fill
temporary nanny jobs for people who need them. There are times when
parents know that childcare is going to be needed throughout the
year, such as school breaks. During school breaks, a parent may not
have childcare for a school-aged child who isn't old enough to stay
home alone. These are times when a family may hire a temporary
nanny.
A temporary nanny is also useful when the parents want to get away
for the weekend without the kids. A temporary nanny may also be
needed for a family whose full-time nanny has resigned, leaving them
without childcare. There are many reasons why a temporary nanny may
be used and usually with fairly short notice, a temporary nanny can
be hired to do some nanny work in a home. The nanny job is
considered temporary when a nanny works up to four hours in a home
for two to three months or it may be a situation where they are
needed for only one day.
A temporary nanny is a great position for nannies that are looking
for a job that is ever-changing and for those who don't want to be
in one home on a permanent basis.
