Nanny agency Koru Kids has applied to become an Ofsted registered childminding agency, with the ambition of creating 9,000 new nanny and childminder jobs.

Originally based in London, the childcare service expanded into Hertfordshire, Surrey and Bristol earlier this year and plans to expand to the rest of the UK later in 2021.

Koru Kids is also launching a new scheme later this year, which will cover training and set up costs to help new childminders run nurseries in their own home, which it claims could see them earning £70,000 a year.

Founded in 2016 by Rachel Carrell, Koru Kids currently has 11,000 nannies registered on its website.

Later this month it will launch a service to support new childminders to set up a nursery style setting in their own home. This includes covering training and registration costs of £3,000, Ofsted registration, providing a £500 grant for set-up costs, on-hand support at every step and help to find nearby families.
