What is the notice period?

Quick Links

Our standard nanny contract has a probation period of 2 weeks, where you or your nanny must give 24 hours notice to end the contract. After this probation period, the notice period is 2 weeks.

For nannies who have been employed for over 3 years, the notice period will be in accordance with applicable UK employment law.

As you're the legal employer of the nanny, you're free to negotiate different terms if you wish, and we can change the contract accordingly. It's always best to get such changes in writing, to ensure there's a written record of your nanny agreeing to the amended terms.

Nannies who have worked with a family for over 2 years will receive redundancy pay if the family is ending the arrangement. This redundancy pay will be calculated by the Koru Kids payroll team and added to your final invoice.

It's important to note that UK employment law around notice periods is weighted in favour of the employee (in this case, the nanny). It's highly unlikely, but if they quit without working their notice period, you cannot withhold pay for hours they've already worked.
