The History of a Norland Nanny
In the 19th Century, the upper and middle classes’ children were confined to the nursery, seeing their parents for a maximum of an hour a day if that. Thus, they were cared for solely by untrained nursery maids and nursery nurses. In 1892 Emily Ward, a London school teacher, recognised the demand for elevating and establishing a superior level of care to nurture and psychologically develop the children of the upper classes and thus the Norland Institute located in Norland Square, Notting Hill, came into existence.
Once qualified, the status of the nursery nurse was elevated to that of a professional who would solely concentrate on being an educational mentor and moral guide to her charges. Not surprisingly, this unique and prestigious qualification set her apart from the untrained nursery maids and gave her a professional standing within the 19th Century household.
Norland Nanny Uniform
All students are required to wear their formal uniform throughout their Diploma including traveling to and from the college and at formal college functions. The uniform is supplied by the College and the students are expected to wear their Norland uniform with pride and be aware that while wearing it they represent the College and its high standards at all times.
The Summer formal uniform for female students:
- The fawn dress
- An optional cardigan (not to be worn when looking after babies)
- The jacket – of either style

The college sets out that the shoes or ankle boots should be plain and either tan or dark tan and flat or very low heeled. Bags must be brown and very plain. Blazer and coats are to be worn when outside the campus and always buttoned up!
The college go to great lengths to state the expected colour of underwear, how to arrange their hair, acceptable jewellery including watches, minimal make-up, hair and fingernails.
Further, the College clearly state that any visible face or neck tattoos and piercings (other than one per ear lobe), are unacceptable.

Norland Nanny Training
Training throughout the Diploma is full-time. The college day will consist of classes and lectures from 9am to 4.30pm. One day a week will be allocated to individual study while four days of the week will be dedicated to formal learning.
The Norland College initially offered the 2 year NNEB Diploma (National Nursery Education Board) which became CACHE (Council for Awards in Care, Health and Education) in 1994. In 2008, Norland College replaced this course with the 3 year Early Childhood Years BA (Hons) Degree. Subsequently this was replaced with the BA(Hons) Early Years Development and Learning Degree in 2013 and this remains the sole Degree course offered by the College.
To qualify for the Norland Diploma, the student must complete a one year Probationary Placement. This takes place in either a family setting or in a nursery and, upon successful completion, they are awarded the Norland Diploma and Badge.
Whether they have graduated with the 2 year or 3 year Diploma, all students will possess exceptional childcare knowledge and skills thus giving the family unbound confidence in their ability to care for their children.
Where is the Norland College?
Originally in London, the College has had various locations due to its expansion and ever-changing needs. Founded at Norland Place, W11, the College counts Ladbroke Grove and Pembridge Square as its HQ, before moving to Berkshire and subsequently Kent. In 1967, it relocated to a grander setting, Denford Park, Hungerford in Berkshire where it remained for 35 years.
In 2003 it was decided that its private grounds of 130 acres and its huge 60,000 sq ft premises were no longer fitting for the College and that a City location would be better suited to the future plans. Hungerford locals were, not surprisingly, dismayed as they benefited from the College students providing childcare and babysitting as part of their training and education which would subsequently cease.
Now the local Bath residents are fortunate to benefit from having students placed with them during their training and also at the point they are ready to commence their Probationary Year.
