I have had to pay parking fines as parking outside of a child's home is unavoidable, especially with little ones. Visitors permits don't last long with a full time nanny and it is unfair for parents or nannies to have to pay so much to park where we work!

I would love to cycle, but live in clevedon, work in bristol. Families with nannies often need car drivers

I am a nanny in Redland and have the same problem with parking.

Child care is expensive enough as it is, the additional cost of daily parking permits will be crippling. Our nanny being able to drive is essentual to taking care of the children.

Our nanny is moving house out of the area soon and will have to drive to our house every day. I have no idea what we're going to do when the parking restrictions come into effect.

We need to be able to park outside the family's home so that young children do not have to walk/ be carried a long distance to the car/ home!

This should apply to paid and unpaid childcare. It supports working parents.

Nannies are professionals. A car is often a requirements of employment.

I used to took after 6 kids in Clifton. A car is essential for looking after children. Childcare is a profession that should come under the trade umbrella for cpz permits.

I'd love to see the RPZ committee cycle and juggle 4 children and all of there where with all. Exceptions need to be made to include nannies and nursery nurses !

This needs to be considered. Despite a number of attempts to engage in a rational conversation with the RPZ team at the council, we feel we have been completely ingnored. There are not enough day permits available for a full time nanny, and pay and display is not available for a full day. When caring for young children, it is impractical to suggest a nanny should park at a park & ride miles away. One particularly useless council suggestion was to join a car club. This would do absolutely nothing to minimize the commuter parking or city traffic concerns. I really don't see why someone looking after a garden can get a permit, but looking after a child is considered less important.

Having to have a parking permit to work at a resident's home needs to be considered. Individuals cannot pay for parking when employed as a nanny for example. A copy of a contract would be evidence of employment.

Nannies are suffering here as we need a car for the children we care for so we can't 'get a bike!' And having to pay everytime we need to get to work is awful and expensive!

As a nanny I find it very hard parking for work and there are only so many daily primits you get. I think there should be something in place for nannies working in the area.

Nannies need a parking permit at their place of work to enable them to do their job!
