TEF Gold for third time in 2023. Five-time winner of Best Small or Specialist Provider at the WUSCAs. Norland University of Early Childhood is the world’s first specialist early years university. Founded in 1892, Norland has been delivering early childhood education and training to students to enable them to become highly knowledgeable and skilled early years professionals. Undergraduates study for a BA (Hons) Early Childhood Education and Care alongside the practical Norland diploma in the beautiful city of Bath leading to the prestigious title of Norland Nanny. Postgraduates study for an MA Early Childhood Education and Care with specialisms in home-based pedagogy and care, sleep hygiene, supporting behaviour and food and nutrition. Norland Agency works exclusively with Norland Nannies, placing them in employment with families all over the world. All nannies and maternity nurses placed through Norland Agency have completed a 12-hour Paediatric First Aid course in the last three years and have an up-to-date DBS check. Norland Agency also checks and verifies all references prior to placing a Norland Nanny in a new position to ensure that the standards expected are upheld. Norland's early childhood consultants partner with schools, nurseries, employers, governments, charities and hospitality brands across the UK and internationally to raise the quality of education and care children receive, particularly in their first three years, a period that shapes future outcomes. Every programme is tailored to the client’s needs. For example, our consultants may work alongside leaders and staff to audit provision, benchmark it against best practice and design training that builds confidence and consistency. Drawing on more than 130 years of early childhood expertise and the standards behind the Norland Quality Mark, this bespoke, evidence-led approach delivers measurable improvements for babies, children, families and the organisations that support them.
