There are so many fun and interesting things to do for children and their nannies in London (or au pairs in London.) Even seasoned nannies with years working at a nanny agency in London may not be familiar with some of these sites, places, and activities.
The National Army Museum offers a free kids play area that includes a rock climbing wall, a castle fortress, dress up clothes, slides, tunnels, and a soft play area for babies. There is a Costa Coffee shop close by, and the museum itself will interest older children. For more information, see: http://www.nam.ac.uk/kids.
The Museum of Childhood is another great choice for kids. They offer hands on displays and activities and workshops for kids of all ages. Toys, dollhouses, games, and children’s furniture from years gone by are on display for the enjoyment of today’s adults and children alike. Do check opening times before visiting: http://www.vam.ac.uk/moc/.
Or, if the kids are tired of being indoors, why not take them to an urban farm? Nannies and children alike will love Hounslow Urban Farm where they can see and pet everything from pigs to ponies and from rabbits to chipmunks. Pig races are also a popular activity at the farm. For more information, visit: http://www.hounslow.info/parks/urbanfarm/.
Another great day out for children and nannies in London is the Princess Diana Memorial Playground. This park centres on a Peter Pan theme, and here children can enjoy playing on a pirate ship, camp out in Indian tepees, and climb in tree houses. To check opening times, visit: http://www.royalparks.org.uk.
Do the kids you care for love CBBC shows? Why not take them on a behind-the-scenes tour? The BBC offers a complete, hands-on and interactive tour offers nearly two hours of fun. For more information, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/tours/tours_cbbc.shtml.
These are just a few ideas for nannies or au pairs in London who want to take children on a day out.
