Nanny 4-day Accredited Short Course N.E.S.T. Accredited Courses have been introduced to bring the postnatal care profession recognition, to regulate training practices and, on occasion, provide a lifeline in a sometimes isolating experience for a 'new' mother. N.E.S.T. Courses focus on both the care and support of the new mother ('listen to mum') and the newborn baby ('listen to baby') The N.E.S.T. Course in Post-Natal Care offers a complete training programme with on-going tutorial support, advice and guidance. It has been designed as a learning tool to build confidence and promote education in newborn care for both carer and mother. We also step outside the home environment and explore the areas of law that affect all of us who work within the baby/childcare industry. The N.E.S.T. Nanny Course is a practical, useful and realistic course combining in-house childcare practice with one to one tutorials. The cost is £600 for 4 days + coursework Accredited professional child carers may register with OFSTED; First Aid Certification may be required.

An educationist who started life in the corporate world,
I retrained as a pre-school then secondary school teacher, culminating in a History of Education Masters degree course
at the School of Education, London University. My career in postnatal care began after working with very young children in both a nursery setting and in the home when I became concerned about the inconsistencies in maternity 'nursing' practice and worried as to whether mums were receiving the right sort of advice and support. With the encouragement of mums I had worked with, and other PNCs, I decided to design a course in order to regulate the practice of postnatal care. I do not use the term 'maternity nursing', because the word 'nursing' can be misleading. The course has since grown and taken on a personality of its own and is delivered by qualified, accredited trainers. In 2006 the Open College Network (OCNOTC) accredited the course, which now boasts 10 credits, the highest accredited course of its kind.
