Jersey Child Care Trust Removes Fee for Nanny Accreditation to Support Local Families and Safeguard Children The Jersey Child Care Trust is pleased to announce that they have removed the application fee for its Nanny Accreditation service up until 31 December 2025. This important move will make it easier for nannies to become accredited, helping to raise standards of care and enhance child safeguarding across the Island. The Nanny Accreditation service, operated by the Jersey Child Care Trust, is designed to ensure that nannies working in Jersey meet high standards of safety, care, and professionalism. Through a straightforward and supportive process, the Trust verifies key requirements such as qualifications, DBS checks, and first aid certification—giving families peace of mind and helping to safeguard children. Accredited nannies benefit from a range of incentives, including access to training and professional development opportunities, inclusion into a growing network of professional nannies and access to a local discount card to help with everyday expenses. This initiative supports and reflects the core mission of the Trust, which is to improve outcomes for all children in Jersey. By focusing on the earliest years, the Jersey Child Care Trust, creates better opportunities, reduces inequalities to help ensure every child has the best possible start in life. For more information about the Nanny Accreditation service and how to apply, visit www.jcct.org.je or contact the Jersey Child Care Trust at info@jcct.org.je. |
