Reliable childcare experts in Notting Hill

Trusted house staff agency serving Notting Hill since 2012.

Notting Hill is home to many of the families we’re proud to support — a vibrant neighbourhood full of households looking for reliable, thoughtful help at home. At Fox and Cubs, we work with families from Notting Hill to find experienced home staff who bring calm, care, and flexibility to everyday life. Whether you’re looking for a nanny, maternity nurse, housekeeper, cook, or personal assistant, we take the time to understand your needs and match you with someone who fits in naturally. It’s all about finding the right person to support your family’s rhythm.

 

Whether you’re a new parent navigating early days with your baby or a busy professional family in need of reliable support, we’re here to make sure your home runs smoothly and joyfully. Our Notting Hill based families come to us for a wide range of support — and we meet that need with a handpicked selection of:

 

  • Live-in and live-out nannies

  • Nanny-housekeepers who balance nurturing care with household efficiency

  • Maternity nurses specialising in newborn care, sleep routines, and feeding support

  • Private family cooks to bring warmth and nutrition to your table

  • Discreet and trusted personal assistants to help manage the day-to-day details of a full household

 

At Fox and Cubs, our approach is deeply personal. We take time to understand the rhythm of your home, your parenting style, and what truly matters to you — whether it’s a bilingual nanny who can reinforce a second language, a housekeeper who brings quiet professionalism, or a maternity nurse who feels like part of the family from day one.

 

Every candidate we introduce in Notting Hill has been thoroughly interviewed, reference-checked, and vetted. Most bring years of private household experience and come with relevant qualifications including Paediatric First Aid and Enhanced DBS checks. When we send you profiles, you’ll receive:

 

  • Full CVs outlining experience, specialties, and personality fit

  • Consultants carefully review and shortlist profiles, selecting only those they believe are the best match for your family’s unique needs.

  • Verified references with direct contact details

  • Confirmation of DBS and right to work

  • Salary expectations, availability, and notice period

 

We know that no two families are the same. That’s why we’re focused on more than just ticking boxes. Our mission is to introduce professionals who will genuinely enhance your home life — who bring structure, warmth, and reliability so you can focus on what matters most.

 

Whether you’ve just moved to Notting Hill or have long called it home, Fox and Cubs is here to provide the kind of support that blends seamlessly into your family’s lifestyle — with the utmost discretion, care, and attention to detail.

FAQS

As an employer, you are responsible for managing your nanny’s payroll, which means they become an employee and you are liable to pay employer taxes, including National Insurance contributions. We recommend using a payroll service that specialises in nanny employment to handle these responsibilities efficiently. Our agency can connect you with trusted payroll providers, and guide you through the process.

The placement process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on your specific requirements and the availability of suitable nannies.
