Spear’s Review 

Louise Taylor joined Kensington Nannies three decades ago and has been managing the firm for more than 25 years. One of London’s premier agencies, the organisation is well established in the world of private childcare.

Taylor and her team recruit qualified and highly talented maternity nurses, early-years nannies, educators and governesses for private households in the UK and internationally, particularly in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. All candidates are pre-screened and undergo extensive background checks. ‘English nannies are one of the few [nationalities] who go into childcare with the intention of working in a private household,’ Taylor says of the international demand. ‘Being a nanny, culturally, is an acceptable career to do and is quite lucrative for the nanny.’

The firm increasingly sources nannies with a bachelor’s degree in education and a specialism in specific child developmental stages to cater for a modern clientele.
