Equality & Discrimination Policy
United Kingdom / Europe / Overseas / All Jurisdictions

Niche Nannies is a diversely owned and run agency. We pride ourselves on being inclusive and respectful during all interactions at all times. No client or nanny will face intentional unfair treatment or discrimination. We do not discriminate based on disability, gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, or any other professional bias.

Our Core Principles
Inclusivity

We embrace diversity and ensure fair treatment regardless of background, identity, or beliefs.

Respect

Every interaction is marked by professionalism, dignity, and mutual respect.

Fairness

All candidates are assessed on merit, qualifications, and suitability for the role.

Transparency

Open communication and honesty in all our dealings with families and candidates.

Candidate Assessment & Suitability

As an agency dealing with families and their children, we must determine a candidate's suitability for any role. When we forward a candidate, that candidate is representing our agency's work, time, and expertise. We may view any public information available online with a view to determining a candidate's character and whether we can register them with our agency.

We will also take account of other freely available public activities that may cast a candidate in a positive or negative light — including social media behaviour, posts, images, comments, and interactions with us or any of our clients. All observation of activity is evaluated to help our specialists and the client build a fuller picture of suitability and compatibility for such a closely involved family role.

Our Commitment to Equality

Our agency team fully embraces the principles of equality legislation, ensuring that every interaction is marked by fairness and respect, regardless of any differences.

01

We only submit fully registered candidates who have passed our thorough vetting procedures.

02

When we select candidates from our pool or network, we send without favouritism.

03

We allow the client to make informed decisions about who they wish to further interact with.

04

All candidates are assessed based on qualifications, experience, and professional suitability.

Our Family Ethos

"This isn't a choice for us; it's how we operate and is part of our family's ethos. We firmly believe that transparency, coupled with exceptional childcare solutions for families, and empowering nannies to discover fulfilling professional paths, defines our personal approach and sets us aside from most nanny agencies."
