Welcome to the Association of Nanny Agencies Ltd!

The Association of Nanny Agencies (ANA) was founded in 2003 to raise the standards of work practice and professionalism amongst nanny agencies. In 2022, we reformed as a not-for-profit limited company – company number 14186154.

ANA members adhere to a high code of conduct, meaning our agencies are among the best in the country. Displaying our ANA logo highlights to your clients and candidates that you will work hard to provide them a high calibre of service.

ANA keeps our member agencies updated with relevant legal and employment changes, provides useful resources and offers a supportive network of like-minded but independently owned and run agencies – which when working alone, or in a small team, is invaluable!

A full list of ANA benefits can be found on the members’ benefits page.

We hold a minimum of two (often three) meetings a year (plus social meet ups) where all members are invited to attend – the meetings provide an opportunity to network with other Association members, discuss ideas you have, share good practice and seek help with any issues you may have encountered. Meetings are also regularly attended by industry speakers to promote further development and best practice.

Ongoing support and networking is available via our Members Only Facebook page and WhatsApp group, where you have a sounding board, advice and support from other members, and the opportunity to share jobs.

To join ANA you will need to provide:

  • A minimum of 1 years accounts (or similar evidence to prove 1+ years trading)
  • Evidence you hold the correct insurance policies – professional indemnity, public and employers’ liability (as appropriate for your business needs)
  • Proof of your compliance with Data Protection Act requirements – registration with the Information Commissioner’s Office – www.ico.org.uk
  • A copy of your terms and conditions of business and relevant policies, to include clauses on non discrimination, equal opportunities and a complaints procedure
  • A completed and signed ANA membership application form
