Written by Fanny Di Domenicantonio,Director, Fox & Cubs Nanny & Private Staff Agency
Fox & Cubs, London’s leading premium childcare agency, is delighted to share that we have been recognised at the Lux Life Magazine Parent & Baby Awards 2026 in two categories:
- Best Premium Childcare & Private Staffing Company 2026 London
- Family Support Excellence Award 2026 London
This recognition means a great deal to us not because awards are what we build for, but because these two categories speak directly to what we care about most: the quality of the professionals we place, and the quality of the experience we create for every family we work with.
What It Means to Be a Premium Childcare Agency in London
The word premium is used loosely in our industry. At Fox & Cubs, it has a specific meaning.
It means that every candidate we represent has been thoroughly vetted interviewed in person, reference checked, and DBS verified before we introduce them to a family. It means that we do not send a shortlist until we are confident that every profile on it is genuinely the right fit for that household. It means that we stay present after a placement is confirmed, because we know that the first few weeks of a new role are where the real work begins.
As a nanny agency in London, Fox & Cubs places exceptional nannies, maternity nurses, nanny housekeepers, and private household staff with families across London and internationally. Every placement begins with a proper conversation not a form, not an automated shortlist, but a genuine discussion about how the household works, what the children need, and what kind of professional would truly fit into the fabric of that family’s life.
Best Premium Childcare & Private Staffing Company
This category recognises agencies that set and maintain an exceptional standard across their childcare and staffing offer. For Fox & Cubs, that standard applies equally to the candidates we represent and the families we serve.
The families who come to us are not looking for a transaction. They are looking for someone they can trust with the most important role in their home. That trust is earned through rigour, through discretion, and through the kind of personalised service that a larger, volume-driven agency simply cannot offer.
Family Support Excellence Award
This category speaks to something we think about constantly at Fox & Cubs the idea that a great placement is not just about filling a role. It is about supporting a family through a significant moment in their life.
Whether a family is welcoming a new baby and looking for a maternity nurse in London, navigating a return to work and needing a long-term nanny, or managing a busy household and looking for a nanny housekeeper who can bring genuine structure and calm, the support we provide is always shaped around what that family genuinely needs.
A Year of Recognition
2026 has been a remarkable year for Fox & Cubs. Alongside these two Lux Life awards, we were voted Best Nanny Agency in the UK at the UK Nanny Awards voted for by the families, nannies, and childcare professionals who work with us every day. We also won Best Small Recruitment Business at the Global Recruiter UK Industry Awards, and were named as a Finalist at the British HR Awards 2026.
Each recognition comes from a different direction. Together, they reflect an agency that is performing at the highest level across every dimension of what it does.
