FAQs

some of our most commonly asked questions

+ Is the course a qualification?

The course is certified and accredited with CPD (the continual professional development body) under the title 'Junior Nanny Course' see [here >>][1]. It is graded between pass and distinction plus. The 12hr paediatric first aid element and common core skills course are standalone qualifications in their own right.

+ I’ve got a level 2 / 3 in childcare and / or I’ve been working in a nursery. Is the course still suitable for me?

Yes. Absolutely. The course is designed to be super practical and hands on and covers the essentials of being a nanny. Nannying is very different to a nursery setting and the course compliments everything you’ll have already learnt through a childcare course / degree.

+ What job opportunities are available once I’ve done the course?

So many! You can join us as a Festival / Wedding or Event nanny when you have availability and we work with a large number of partner agencies to offer traditional nannying opportunities (temporary and permanent) both in the UK and internationally.

+ If I do the course will you guarantee me a job?

Unfortunately we can’t guarantee that you’ll get a job / extra work after completing the course but the majority of graduates who are seeking work are quickly snapped up!

+ Do I have to stay onsite with the course?

The course is residential as it’s very intense with long days of learning. We are incredibly welcoming, course sizes are small and the property is lovely - there aren’t any bunk beds!

+ Can I book and come with a friend?

Yes, of course. It’s just subject to availability on each course. We recommend booking onto your chosen course as soon as you’ve decided as spaces are limited.

+ I’ve noticed that payment plans are available. Do I need to have completed the whole payment plan before I can go on the course?

No! You can attend your course whilst your payment plan is ongoing. For example if you book onto a course in 2 months time and have a 5 month payment plan. You’ll attend the course having paid 2 instalments and the remaining 3 instalments will be paid after you’ve completed it.

+ I already have an Enhanced DBS on the update service / in date paediatric first aid certificate / common core skills certificate. Do I have to pay for these again?

No, of course not. Simply send copies of your certificates over to us when want to you book and we’ll organise a special purchase option for you with the correct costs removed.

+ What if I’m unwell before / during the course?

“It was an amazing week with so much learning packed into each day, after only 5 days I feel so much more confident with employment and contracts, cooking, managing children’s emotions, looking after babies and am now first aid trained! Lots of balance with the daily exercise and Zumba, yoga and Pilates and loads of delicious meals and fun downtime with all of the great girls.” Ellie D - September 2024
