A new nanny has plenty to learn, even when they arrive with experience. There are school bags to find, favourite lunches to remember and little details about your children that take time to understand. Giving them practical support early on can help everyone settle into the arrangement.
At Arthur’s House, we offer personalised nanny training in your home, with an experienced trainer working alongside your nanny. We build the session around the parts of family life where you would welcome extra guidance.
When a little extra support can help
Perhaps you have found a lovely junior nanny and want to help them take on the role with confidence. You might be welcoming a new baby, adjusting to school hours or asking an existing nanny to take on different responsibilities.
Training can also create space to talk through expectations. If afternoons feel rushed or handovers leave you with unanswered questions, it can be helpful to look together at what would make those moments easier.
Learning in the home where it matters
Imagine a nanny preparing for their first school pickup with your family. Knowing the route is one part of the afternoon; managing hungry children, belongings and the transition home brings its own questions. Practising in the setting where they work makes guidance easier to apply.
Your priorities might include baby care, activities, mealtimes or communication with parents. We agree the focus with you beforehand, so the session has a clear purpose.
A constructive approach to developing skills
Being new to a household can make it difficult to know when to ask for help. A supportive conversation gives your nanny room to explain what they find challenging and work through it with someone alongside them.
For parents, this is an opportunity to make expectations explicit. What does a useful handover look like to you? Which parts of the day need more attention? Talking through these details helps turn broad instructions into something your nanny can put into practice.
What happens after the session
You receive written feedback with recommendations to help you continue supporting your nanny. This gives you a starting point for follow-up conversations and deciding what to work on next.
