DBS Service

Disclosure & Barring Service check

One of the first steps in hiring a nanny is ensuring they have the correct documents in place. 

PAYE for Nannies can assist in arranging the DBS check for you, ensuring that it meets the legal standards required for OFSTED registration. It is important to note that this process can take up to 12 weeks to complete, so it is advisable to start the process as early as possible to avoid any delays in accessing childcare benefits.

Please be aware that the DBS check service is available exclusively to clients who are using one of our payroll services, such as Bronze, Silver, or Gold packages. This ensures that you are fully supported throughout the registration process, helping you comply with all legal requirements and smoothly manage your nanny’s employment and associated benefits.

Childcare Vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare

If you are using childcare vouchers or tax-free childcare in England to help cover the costs of employing a nanny, it’s important to be aware of the legal requirements tied to these benefits. One key requirement is that your nanny must be registered with OFSTED (the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills). This registration is essential for you to use these childcare benefits.

To qualify for registration, your nanny must also have an up-to-date and clean DBS certificate. This certificate is proof that the enhanced check has been conducted successfully, and that no issues were found.

What If the Nanny Doesn’t Have an Enhanced DBS Certificate?

If your nanny does not currently hold an enhanced DBS certificate and you have not arranged for the check through another route, there is still a way to get this sorted. PAYE for Nannies can assist you by arranging the enhanced DBS check for your nanny. This will ensure that the nanny meets the legal requirements necessary for OFSTED registration and for you to use your childcare vouchers or tax-free childcare

How Long Does the DBS Check Take?

Please be aware that the DBS check process can take up to 12 weeks to complete. This can be a lengthy process, so it is advisable to start the DBS check as early as possible to avoid delays in your nanny’s registration with OFSTED and any associated childcare benefits
