Our annual nanny salary survey, published in Professional Nanny with this week's Nursery World, always causes a stir, and the latest research paints a very different picture from the boom in wages of the past few years. The economic slowdown that has led to redundancies in areas such as financial services and IT, plus the Government's refusal to give tax breaks to parents employing nannies, has meant job losses for some nannies as parents turn to other, more affordable options. Stephen Vahrman of Nannytax analyses the facts and figures. It now looks as though parents employing nannies may be able to claim childcare tax credit from April if their nanny registers as a childminder (see News, page 4). This raises many as yet unanswered questions, such as whether the parents' home will have to be inspected.

A multilingual service has been launched by the Daycare Trust to make it easier for non-English speaking parents to gain access to information on childcare. The Language Line, which covers more than 100 languages, will provide three-way communication over the phone with callers connected to an interpreter via the operator. The Trust said research has shown that language problems and lack of information on childcare are barriers to work and study for parents. Stephen Burke, Daycare Trust director, said, 'Better childcare services for minority ethnic families will help build a thriving multi-ethnic Britain where everyone has a better chance in life.' The helpline is on 020 7840 3350, Monday to Friday, from 10am to 5pm.
