Preparing for a nanny interview in the UK is an important step in securing the right role and presenting yourself as a professional and reliable childcare provider. Families and agencies are not only interested in your experience, but also in your communication skills, confidence and overall professionalism.
Prepare Your CV and Documents
Before the interview, make sure your CV is up to date and clearly outlines your previous nanny roles, the ages of children you’ve cared for and your key responsibilities. UK families often expect Paediatric First Aid, a valid DBS check and strong references, so be prepared to discuss these confidently.
Be Ready to Talk About Your Experience
Think about your hands-on childcare experience and prepare examples that show how you manage daily routines, school runs, homework support and behaviour management. Explaining how you handle real-life situations helps families understand your approach and builds trust.
Present Yourself Professionally
First impressions matter. Arrive on time, dress professionally and communicate clearly. Be honest about your availability, preferred role type (live-in or live-out) and the working hours you are looking for. Transparency helps ensure a strong long-term match.
Ask the Right Questions
A nanny interview is a two-way conversation. Asking questions about routines, expectations and family values shows genuine interest and professionalism. It also helps you decide whether the role is right for you.
