Norland Unwrapped: Placements — 11 February 2026

Discover how placements shape students as they train to become a Norland Nanny at Norland Unwrapped: Placements on Wednesday 11 February, 5-6pm GMT.

Placements form a fundamental part of our BA (Hons) Early Childhood Education and Care degree. They give students the chance to apply their academic learning in real-world settings and develop the skills that make Norland Nannies so highly sought after.

Students complete 34 weeks on placement, gaining practical experience alongside their studies. Each student undertakes a minimum of eight placements in a variety of settings, including nurseries, schools, hospital wards, specialist schools and family environments. You’ll also complete a 25-hour newborn experience. It’s during these placements that students are able to apply their theoretical learning and practical skills in real-world scenarios, supporting their development as early years practitioners.

During this webinar, you’ll discover:

• the different types of placements you complete
• what you can expect from the different early years settings
• how our dedicated placement team will support you
• how assessments work
• how the placements will support your development as an early years practitioner throughout the three years
• real student stories and experiences

Please note: if you have a specific query about entry requirements or your qualifications, please contact [email protected] directly as we’ll not be able to answer specific individual queries during this session.
