Nanny Wages Survey 2011

It is that time of year, Christmas is approaching, which also means that it is Nanny Salary Survey time.
For many years now Nannytax (nanny payroll company) and NurseryWorld (magazine) have been collating and publishing the results of a nanny pay survey. The survey can help give parents and nannies an indication of what salaries are typically paid to nannies working in London, Home Counties, and other areas.
I am not sure how the survey has been done in the past. I think it has mostly been via nannytax clients and people who read Nursery World magazine. At the bottom of the wages table in the 2010 survey it said “All figures are calculated from the 80 nanny agencies and the 485 Nannytax clients who completed the 2010 Nannytax”. This year, nannytax are making the survey available for all employers of nannies (in the UK) to complete.
Are you a parent who employs a nanny in the UK?
If so, please complete the pay survey.
All survey participants are given the chance to enter a prize draw to WIN £500 worth of Boden vouchers! So there’s an incentive for any parent who feels they need an incentive to complete the survey.
By completing the survey I feel you get to inform the producers of this survey and thus other parents looking for a nanny in 2012, plus nannies themselves what sort of salaries are realistic in today’s marketplace. It may also mean that more information is made available about how nanny wages vary around the country, though it isn’t known yet how the data collected from this years survey will be shown once it has been collated.
Previous survey results:

Using the sources above, we can get a feel for how salaries have changed over the years. For example the graph below shows how the salary for a Live Out nanny in the Home Counties (so I guess that means Surrey, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Sussex, Bedfordshire, Hampshire) has changed over the years.

The graph above though is based on the salary surveys conducted by nanny agencies and from information provided by clients of Nannytax. So this year’s survey could well make a lot of difference if it’s completed by parents who don’t use a nanny agency or use the nannytax payroll company. Time will tell as to how many employers of nannies in the UK complete this survey. If you do employ a nanny in the UK, please do consider completing the survey so that other parents and nannies know what salaries are realistic.
