Elspeth Pitman, Norland Nanny and Head of Graduates: Placements, Employment and Alumni, has been featured in The Times in an article exploring nanny salaries and the value of highly trained childcare professionals.

Elspeth’s contribution highlights Norland’s long‑standing commitment to upholding excellence within the early years sector, and the depth of training, professionalism and expertise that distinguish Norland graduates within a largely unregulated childcare landscape.

The article was published online on 9 January 2026, and in The Times newspaper in the weekend edition on 10-11 January 2026.
