A Nanny is entitled to 5.6 weeks holiday a year including public holidays, which is equivalent to 28 days paid holiday a year for Full-time employment. Part time Nannies are also entitles to 5.6 weeks holidays of the days they work. If a Nanny works 2 days a week, they are entitles to 5.6 x 2 which is equivalent to 11.2 days holiday a year.

The Employer of a Nanny is entitled to state when 2 weeks or the equivalent (10 days) holidays are to be taken. The remaining holidays are the Nannies decisions. Any holiday notice should be written into the employment contract. All holiday entitlements should be clearly written into the contract between the Family and the Nanny, before the Nanny commences the job.
