Company details

  1. Child Care Agency

Written by the company

Rosebud Nanny Agency is a multi-award winning nanny agency matching nannies and families in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and South Cambridgeshire. Rosebud Nanny Agency is owned and run by Abigail Plested, a former nanny, and has been operating since early 2013. Abigail is passionate about children and dedicated to giving them the best start in life. She believes stability in their home life is the best way to achieve this. At Rosebud Nanny Agency, we strive to match each family with the nanny who best shares their ideas on bringing up their children. We believe consistency is key, and a harmonious relationship between children, parents and their nanny starts with this. We offer a professional yet personal service to every family, where you as the parent are in control. We aim to make the recruitment process stress-free for you – we are happy to answer general questions and enquiries, with no obligation. Nannies, like childminders and most nursery staff, hold childcare qualifications, paediatric first aid certificates and DBS (formally CRB) checks. They also often hold nanny insurance, although it’s not a requirement unless they are Ofsted registered (so you can use the tax free childcare scheme, or childcare vouchers towards the nannys cost) They are your employee, they come to your house for their working day, and solely care for your child/children. This means you would employ them through PAYE and have a contract of employment (both things I will guide you with!) Nannies look after all ages of children – it depends on your family! If you have a child at home and one at school, you have a complete childcare option rather than using nursery for one child, breakfast and after school club for the other, and muddling through school holidays in any fashion possible. Nannies working days and hours are set by you as the employer, so are often the most flexible form of childcare. You pay for the hours you need. Rosebud Nanny Agency covers Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Southern Cambridgeshire – St Albans, Harpenden, Welwyn Garden City, Hitchin, Watford, Rickmansworth, Berkhamsted, Biggleswade, Cambridge, St Neots, Amersham and many more. Please contact us today to discuss your childcare requirements.

Ah Natalie what a lovely review, thank you! It's been a pleasure to help you!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fantastic service

We have used Abi on more than one occasion over the last 6+ years to find nannies. As our childcare needs have evolved we’ve worked with a few nannies and every time Abi has been quick and efficient in finding suitable candidates. She has always taken the time to understand our family and current needs. In emergency circumstances she has been able to find temporary cover at very short notice. Her guidance on all things admin and payroll is also invaluable if it’s the first time you’re employing a nanny. I would definitely recommend Abi!

A great nanny-finding experience!

Abi was really good at understanding the type of person I was looking for, and she found me a wonderful nanny in a matter of a few days! She was helpful regarding the admin behind hiring a nanny, answering my questions about the contract, and holding my hand throughout the process. She is also really nice. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome.

Rosebud Blooms!

Abi at Rosebud Nanny Agency is absolutely amazing! As a nanny, I'd easily say she is one of the best! Abi takes the time to talk to you to find out what sort of role you are looking for and then finds you the perfect family. This is why whenever a role comes to a natural end, I go back to Abi for the next one!

Would definitely recommend Abi

Abi is clearly an expert of the industry! We found out about Rosebud through a friend and weren’t disappointed. Abi asked great questions and was really able to get under the skin of what we were looking for. She found some great candidates and was on hand with advice and support along the way. Thanks for your help!!

Fantastic nanny agency

We've had such a brilliant experience with Abi at Rosebud agency. I really couldn't rate her highly enough. She's found two nannies for us - one in 2022 and one in 2023. Both times we needed help at quite short notice, and Abi was so helpful at finding us such high quality help so quickly. Both the nannies we have had through Abi have been brilliant with the kids, kind, caring, great at cooking and other household jobs. And generally just really nice people to have around. And we always felt that Abi really did care about providing us and the nannies with a good experience. I would most definitely go back to Abi in the future for any further childcare needs.

You will be impressed!!

What a fantastic service provided from Rosebud Nanny agency and Abi. Throughout our Nanny search Abi was sensitive and thorough and kept our family needs at the forefront.
I have used other Nanny agencies over the years but Abi's expertise and knowledge was integral to us finding and placing our Nanny. I wouldn't hesitate to use this service again and the customer experience was exceptional.

5 star service

Abi, I just wanted to leave you a quick review to say how absolutely brilliant all 3 nannies were on Saturday. They were punctual, smartly turned out and approached us with warm smiles. Not only did they get straight on with entertaining the children, they approached arriving guests and relieved them of their children!

All of the children had a very enjoyable day and the level of interaction was fantastic- not only did they look after the children but got involved with games and entertained them. It was a 5 star experience.

Many thanks for your help in organising this, an incredibly professional service on all fronts

Abi has simply been the best

Abi has simply been the best ! I have nannied for 20 years and I have never met a more compassionate and caring agency as Rosebud! Abi put my mind at ease and has always been available for catch ups if I need reassurance. Rosebud for me, is one of the agencies who not only thinks for the client but also looks after the nannies too. I would give Abi 20 stars if I could, or more! Absolutely amazing xx

The most excellent agency

The most excellent agency! Abi helped us to establish our needs before shortlisting excellent candidates and in the end helping us to recruit a brilliant nanny through another reference. When our first nanny went on maternity leave, Abi shortlisted again and we found an equally brilliant cover. Always available, practical and pragmatic with great knowledge and advice since we met, I’d recommend to anyone.

Amazing Service 10/10

Having no family nearby to help with childcare we felt lost and in desperate need of some help with our two young kids. We found Abi online and got in contact with her to request some help. Abi was very professional, friendly, and quick to understand our requirements. Abi made us feel at ease during the whole process and ensured we were always kept in the loop which was very encouraging. Within a couple of days Abi had found two very experienced nannies who fitted the job description perfectly. We are so pleased with the outcome and can't recommend Abi enough. Thanks for allowing us to have some freedom back Abi!!

Great nanny agency

Abi found us a fantastic nanny last year. Before speaking to Abi, I was concerned it would be difficult to find a school wrap-around nanny. Abi took time to understand our requirements and we had a selection of CVs to choose from. All the nannies we met had been screened and were lovely. Abi was a great help with the contract admin process once we had found our nanny too. Would recommend.

Excellent service and coms

I have used this agency twice in the past 4 years and each time I have received excellent service from Abi. She is knowledgeable, prompt and with a great range of nannies to recommend for each family's specific needs. She does all the necessary background checks and initial interviews and then provides you with the CVs of a number of suitable candidates and it is then up to you to pick out the ones you would like to interview. She was also great at helping us with the contracts and the sourcing of a reliable payroll company. All the awards she has won in the time we have known her are very well deserved.
