The new edition of The Nanny Diary is finally here!

First printed in 1995, The Nanny Diary provides an invaluable aid to communication between parent and nanny, or simply a written form of tracking and remembering the changes in the child as they develop.

It is an A4 size any year diary, allowing a page a day to write the things important to you, in as much detail as you want regarding the child, from important friends, what they have eaten, groups they attend, etc.

The front of the diary is allocated for the essential names and addresses the parent or nanny may require, such as doctor's, dentists, parent's work telephone numbers and so on. No longer are there excuses to forget friend's birthdays or to be aware of whom the current best friend is! As a working tool, it can show how the nanny has occupied the child within the day, with room for the parents and nanny's comments and suggestions.

A space for babysitting requirements helps to prevent disagreements over whether this was previously agreed or not. At the beginning of each month, there is an area to note goals for the following weeks.

The Nanny Diary gives a parent peace of mind. Should they return home to an empty house, one look in the diary shows where the nanny and child are expected to be at that particular time. If a temporary nanny is required, it also helps to make a smooth transition for that period, as the temp nanny can refer to the permanent nanny's notes and vice versa when the permanent nanny returns.

Even meal times can be made easier, as the parent or nanny can avoid repeating the same menu the following day, simply by looking at the previous day's record.

Cost: £35.25 including vat, postage and packing within the UK.
