We organise regular meetings in London for our au pairs and nannies throughout the year. In the past we have explored London together, organised walking tours, visited many of London’s famous museums and galleries, had picnics in some of London’s historic parks, played rounders, kubb, gone ice skating, and even organised pub crawls!
