About Us

Great Start Nannies was created by an experienced neonatal intensive care nurse working in one of the largest neonatal units in the UK. We are a strong team of dedicated, professional, and knowledgeable nurses, midwives, and professional nannies providing you with the care and attention that’s second to none.

“My passion for neonatal care started when I was a nursing student. I was overwhelmed by the possibilities for growth both personally and professionally and could not wait to start. Many years later, the passion for providing outstanding care not only grew but expanded in ways I did not know existed. I have accumulated vast knowledge and skills which I love passing on to both, first-time and seasoned parents. This is how the idea of opening a nanny agency came to mind. As a maternity nurse myself I have first-hand experience looking after high-profile clients. I cultivate this knowledge and high standard in my team of wonderful nurses, midwives, and nannies”,

Great Start agency is designed to provide you with knowledgeable and experienced staff who specialize in newborns and babies up to 1-2 years old. We offer second to none advice and care to parents during pre-natal stages and postnatal care. Our highly trained nannies are paediatric nurses, midwives, maternity nurses, or qualified nannies with extensive newborn experience, first-aid training, and enhanced DBS checks.

We know that welcoming a baby into your family can be very challenging both physically and mentally, therefore all our staff are trained in supporting parents with baby blues/postnatal depression, breast and bottle feeding; night and day care, so you can recover. Our nannies are trained to help you through colic, reflux, feeding, and sleep issues, as well as, sleep training for older babies on solid foods.

Let us help you with a New, Great Start.
