One of the biggest myths about probation?

That you can sort the paperwork later.

You can't.

Probation is an assessment period.

It isn't a different employment status.

From your nanny's first day, you still need to:
• operate PAYE where required
• issue payslips
• calculate holiday entitlement
• assess workplace pension duties

Getting everything set up correctly from the beginning means fewer headaches later.

That's exactly what we help families do.

Six months can disappear in a blink.

Especially when you're juggling work, family and childcare.

But from January 2027, those first six months of employing a nanny are expected to become even more significant.

The qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal claims is expected to reduce from two years to six months across Great Britain.

Good employers won't panic. They'll prepare.

Regular probation reviews, clear expectations and the right paperwork from the very beginning all help create a positive working relationship.

Our latest guide explains what families employing a nanny should be doing now.

You've found someone your children adore.

They're settling in beautifully.

Everything feels like it's working.

Now comes the bit many parents don't expect:

When you employ a nanny, you're also an employer.

That means employment law applies to you too.

And from 1 January 2027, the qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal claims is expected to reduce from two years to six months in England, Scotland and Wales.

The first six months of employment will become even more important.

Now is the perfect time to review your nanny's contract, probation period and payroll arrangements.

Remember, probation doesn't change your responsibilities as an employer.

Your nanny should still be set up correctly on payroll, receive payslips, accrue holiday entitlement and be assessed for workplace pension enrolment from day one.
