Practical training through the Norland Diploma The Norland Diploma is an additional qualification you will work towards with modules integrated with the degree, followed by a fourth year as a Newly Qualified Nanny (NQN) in employment. The purpose of the Norland Diploma is to prepare students for the practical aspects of the care and development of children in the early years (aged 0-8). It equips students with the practical skills and competencies required to work at a senior level or in sole charge within an early years environment, whether in a family home or setting, supporting the children and families with whom they will work. Modules include Communication in Practice, Food and Nutrition, Health and Wellbeing, Play and Learning, and Sewing. You will also learn additional professional skills required to work with children, including good timekeeping, teamworking, excellent communication skills, respect for and love of children, and gain a strong understanding of and respect for confidentiality. These skills are taught throughout your training and culminate in a final module dedicated to employment. On completion of this course you will be able to link theory to practice and will become a reflective practitioner through teaching, reflection and lots of hands-on experience. It is the attainment of this prestigious qualification that distinguishes Norland graduates from other early years professionals and makes them highly sought after.
