“I think getting to put the theory into practice and spend time with different children and different families is really special.”

Genna joined Norland after taking a few years out to work as a nanny. It was the comprehensive early childhood academic and practical training that made her want to return to education to further her knowledge and career opportunities as a graduate.

In her My Norland Story, Genna describes enrolling as a mature student as “one of the best things I could’ve done” as it allowed her time to save money and gain life experience.
