Hi as a first time employer please can anyone let me know where is the best place to get a DBS for my member of staff and how much should it cost? thanks
Nick M. replied:
There is no best place, it depends on how much hand-holding through the process a nanny needs. A nanny agency will be able to do the ID check for a nanny but will charge an admin fee. Capita/SecurityWatchdog will do the check for under £53 but the nanny will need to find someone who can complete the ID check for them. More details in the Brief Ofsted guide and step by step screen shots for the online application via Capita/SecurityWatchdog is in the full guide, both available from http://www.nannypaye.co.uk/useful-information/employer-factsheets/
Dear All, we're just about to hire a nanny for the first time and realise we pay her tax ...but have no idea how. Does anyone know of a simple way to do this? All help appreciated! Tracy xx

We use nannypaye and they calculate it for you, issue pay slips etc and I then pay tax and NI quarterly online to hmrc

Finding NannyPaye very helpful and efficient at the moment. Their annual fee is worth not having to complete the paperwork and do the maths myself each month!
