It caters for those agencies registering both nannies and childminders either as a placement agency, or as an agency that directly employs their childcarers or an agency that both employs and places childcarers.
Unregistered Childcare Staff Agencies that specialise in providing childcarers. It caters for childcare staff placement agencies and childcare employment businesses, or agencies that both employ and place staff.
