eezofminders, which runs a network of nannies, childminders and nursery nurses across England, has formed a partnership with West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust to recruit two full-time 'mobile nannies' who will be able to provide childcare at short notice to its staff, including nurses.
The trust has two workplace nurseries, managed by nursery group TLC (Tender Loving Childcare). A 46-place nursery opened at Watford General Hospital a year ago and a 48-place nursery was opened at St Alban's City Hospital in April. Both nurseries are open from 7am to 7pm.
Once recruited the 'nannies' will be based at each site and available between 7am and 10pm every weekday to provide emergency childcare. Both 'nannies' will work on a shift basis so that one of them is always on-call between these hours. If there is sufficient demand the service will be extended to weekends and Bank Holidays.
