Cleo found the perfect family for me to work with. She was extremely professional throughout, guiding me through the process and ensuring communication was clear on both sides. Her service is brilliant, with aid from Jackie and Maria on the admin team. I would highly recommend this agency service for anyone looking for help with both sourcing childcare and looking for a governess or nanny-related working role. Proceed with confidence. Thank you for your help, Cleo! More...

We recently had the wonderful Antonia looking after my 4 month old son in Tenerife and I must say of all the childcare we have ever had she was hands down the best. So experienced looking after a newborn, so patient and just generally an outstanding nanny. I really couldn’t recommend her more. When we come next year we will certainly be calling on her again!

We had a great experience with Great British Nannies. Communication was quick and easy and they booked us in with Antonia who was excellent. She was so kind and our baby felt really comfortable with her, so we knew we were in safe hands. We would definitely use them again! More...

I had such a wonderful experience working with Cleo & Irina to find a position that matched me perfectly. They took the time to really understand the requirements/expectations of the family and myself. I felt like it was more of a bespoke service they offer compared to other agencies I have used. They are with you every step of the way, and not only through the whole process but after you have been placed, making sure that everything is ok and that they are at hand if any issues arrive. I would highly recommend GBN if you are looking for a professional and tailored service that goes the extra mile. Thank you Cleo and Irina for everything! More...

I've been working in the industry for a number of years and can honestly say that this is one of the most passionate and professional agencies I have dealt with. The level of service and attention to detail is absolutely impeccable. Cleo is a warm, intelligent and dynamic person with whom I've had the pleasure of dealing with. They do the basics right in terms of following through and actually doing what they say, because of this everything else flows from then on. With so many questionable agencies out there it's reassuring to have found one that does things right which ultimately benefits everyone involved, parents, staff and most importantly the children.

I've been actively seeking a Nanny role for a couple of months. I signed with a number of agencies, made several trips to London and read a million family profiles! Some agencies were very good and unfortunately some were not so good. However, when I came across GBN, it was very clear to me that Cleo and her team were a cut above them all and then some. A thorough and fair registration process with excellent communication along the way. I felt that Cleo really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for and explained her clients requirements very well. I was given honest, regular and timely feedback throughout every step of a job role application and, following an interview with a family, I have now secured a trial with them!

Since working with Great British Nannies, I found I have been guided through every step while applying for a position. The level of professionalism is outstanding. For me a good agency is one that will do a good background and reference check and Cleo certainly did that. Cleo is an easy going individual, nothing is too much trouble. Her professionalism shows through as she continues to run an exemplary service for both the families and the ladies within her agency. As a Maternity Nurse seeking employment with a family, she was in constant contact to confirm at what level the negotiations for a contract were at.

Cleo was absolutely amazing with me, she kept up with all of my emails, questions and messages.
After applying for a suitable job, Cleo quickly arranged an interview time with me and after the client got in touch the following week I was given the job. I am super excited but also very happy that it was such a fast process and they match clients well with interviewees unlike other agencies I know of.

Interview was a really relaxed and enjoyable experience and not like most that are more formal, as for a nannying role I believe it is to be happy and relaxed to get to know the character of the candidate. They interviewed me before I met any client in order to make sure I was a suitable candidate which I though was superb and helpful and also give me full insight to the family and needs.

My husband and I used the services of Great British Nannies back in 2015 when I was looking for a maternity nurse for my first baby. I've heard mixed reviews about using nanny agencies in the past from friends; one however, had used Great British Nannies and told me about how easy the communication was with them, they had found her a great fit for her little girl at the time. I was given my own recruitment consultant (Irina) who was amazing from start to finish, ensuring regular communication and that we were completely on the same page about my needs. She understood the importance of finding the right type of person that would be able to help us in those first precious few months, so felt completely reassured considering I was extremely anxious at that point! They are excellent to deal with and I’ll be using their services again when the time is right. More...

Cleo and Great British Nannies have been more than amazing. I contacted them wanting a nannie in a very short period and my requirements were very specific. They replied swiftly and provided me with a few CVs that were all very good and hard to choose from. After choosing the Candidate, Cleo was very helpful and things went very smoothly and quick. When I arrived in london The Nannie Ayaan was pure perfection. She was there to take care of my two children (1.5yrs and 3.5yrs) and my nephew (8yrs) and she did an amazing job despite the major age difference between the children. Cleo has really provided me with the Nannie I need with the exact requirements I had provided to her. The whole experience from A to Z was really perfect and went very very well.

My first experience of Great British Nannies was on a Sunday over the Christmas period. I left a message about a post that I saw online (not expecting a call back for several days) and went about my business. Cleo phoned me within two hours and the roller coaster started! After I completed the registration form, Cleo quickly and more importantly, discretely followed up my references (which I gather is a one-off process and references are filed for future use). Within one week I was in Geneva starting a trial for a very good post. Unfortunately I decided I was unable to accept the job and informed Cleo. She was very supportive and understanding.
Great British Nannies have a real understanding of childcare and the importance of placing the right candidate with the right family.
Cleo contacted me again recently about a post she thought I was suitable for. I'm currently on trial for that post and she was right ! (Fingers crossed!). I have been fully supported regarding visa and tickets etc. Cleo also regularly keeps in touch making me feel valued.
I thoroughly recommend Great British Nannies and Cleo for all the aspects of their agency.

To Whom it May Concern,

I enlisted the help of Cleo during a governor/governess search for the Principals I work for. We were in need of an outstanding candidate who could mentor our nannies and who could be a role model for the children; someone who would understand borders and discretion, would be a consummate professional, but at the same time be a warm and friendly presence. We did not only want an expert, we also wanted someone who could be a pleasure to have in the home. Cleo provided me with a range of excellent candidates, all quite different from each other, but each outstanding in their own way. I found Cleo to be an attentive listener. She was quick and efficient and did not waste my time. She understood exactly what I wanted and presented me with it. Refined and genuine, with a great attention to detail, she was always on target with me. Her work is of the highest standard. I recommend her without reservation.

Sincerely,
