Nursery World - Buses R Us

Did you ever think your skills at handling the school run deserved a higher profile? Nannies could be earning extra money at the wheel of the traditional American yellow school bus on Britain's roads. The bus and train company FirstGroup is importing the conspicuous yellow buses from the US, adapting them to UK standards and preparing to sign contracts with several local authorities to run its first pilot programmes for door-to-door, home-to-school service. The benefits include safer, more secure journeys for the children with a known driver, fewer trips for parents and carers, and less traffic congestion. The company points out that in America many of the drivers are mothers whose own children are among the passengers. If mothers can do it, so can nannies. So get ready to train for your Public Service Vehicle licence, and if you have any questions contact FirstGroup on 020 7291 0512.
