Dr Janet Rose, Principal, discusses the importance of raising the status and value of home-based childcare through the recognition and regulation of the nanny profession in an article for Nursery World.

Dr Rose reflects on Norland’s ground-breaking early years history, how nannies offer untapped potential to help solve the childcare crisis and why the regulation of the nanny industry would put the UK in a pioneering role globally.

As Dr Rose explores in her article, all of this would help bring the vision of Norland’s founder, Emily Ward, to fruition.

Another aspect of bringing Emily Ward’s legacy to the fore are the recent launches of the Norland Educare Research Centre and Norland Educare Research Journal which Dr Rose discusses in the article.
