A free nanny makes a better companion than a bunch of balloons

Hands up who thought Mary Poppins didn’t exist? Well, you’d be right on that one, she doesn’t, but The Athenaeum Hotel in London is getting together the next best thing – it’s hired three nannies which it reckons are the best in Britain, and offering their services complimentary to guests until September 30.

The nannies were chosen as part of a nationwide contest held in conjunction with Norland Nannies, who look after the sprogs of the British aristocracy and the three women chosen had to go up in front of an interview panel consisting of two children, a half-famous actress, Lynda Bellingham, and the hotel’s Kids Concierge (yes, it has one).

Deborah, Angela and Anthea (wot, no hunky mannies?) start today, and by way of introduction, the hotel is offering up to three hours of complimentary nannying with its Family Fun package: breakfast for two, free meals for kids under 12, a picnic lunch, free WiFi, snacks and soft drinks from the minibar, and a transfer from any London airport. Guaranteed dollar rates start at $450 a night, with a three night minimum (you can bag a second room at half price), but the deal ends 30 September. To book, click here.

PS: For those of you without spawn, be aware that the Athenaeum bills itself as “London’s most family friendly five star hotel”, so you might want to bear that in mind before you skip along down.
