Life as a Norland Nanny

As a Norlander, you’ll enjoy 100% guaranteed employment opportunities and lifelong support

To become a Norland Nanny, students must complete our BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Education and Care alongside the Norland diploma. Master’s students undertake advanced postgraduate training but do not hold the title of Norland Nanny or Norlander.

As a fully qualified graduate Norland Nanny, or Norlander, you’ll have your very own dedicated in-house recruitment agency. The Norland Agency is as old as Norland itself, set up in parallel with the Norland Institute to place the first cohort of nannies into employment.

There are not many professions that can offer guaranteed employment opportunities, but at Norland demand from families for qualified Norland Nannies outstripped supply from day one and continues to do so today. The Norland Agency works exclusively with Norland Nannies to place them in positions all over the world, working as nannies and maternity practitioners. Once qualified, Norlanders have exclusive access to a list of clients who specifically want to employ a Norland Nanny through the Norland Agency.

The lifelong support you’ll receive as a Norlander is also something which has continued since the early days of Norland. You’ll have the opportunity to join the Professional Association of Norlanders (PAN) and have exclusive access to an active Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training programme to pursue specialist topics and ensure your knowledge and skills are kept up to date. Today’s Norlanders turn to the private Norlander Facebook group for peer support, telephone or email the Norland Agency and Alumni team or simply drop in. Norlanders can always be sure of support and friendship, whenever and wherever they are in the world.

Our MA programme is brand new, so we don’t yet have graduate stories to share. We’re excited to follow the journey of our first cohort and look forward to showcasing their achievements and career progress in the future.
