Once they've been hired, nannies must complete some additional training, unless they've completed similar accredited training previously. These courses have been developed by our in-house training team (made up of a former teacher and former nanny), and are designed to give your nanny the best possible start in their role.

We offer our nannies two core courses, and one additional course:

We also have a course specifically aimed at looking younger children, which is only required if a nanny will be caring for children under the age of 4.

This training prepares nannies for the emergency first aid situations they may come across as an after school nanny. They learn to spot the signs and symptoms, and relevant treatments, for a variety of paediatric injuries and illnesses. We also demonstrate the most crucial life saving skills. Along the way there are quizzes to check their knowledge.

Here’s what’s covered:

Please be aware that this training is not certified by an Awarding Organisation and will not provide your nanny with an official first aid certificate. We've taken reasonable steps to ensure the material is comprehensive, accurate, and up to date. However, we can’t guarantee that the material covered in this training is the same as the information included in a certified course. If you'd like your nanny to do a more extensive and certified course, let us know and we can suggest a provider.

In addition to our First Aid Training, we also offer free 1-to-1 sessions with a certified first aid trainer on the following topics:

If you're interested in your nanny having one of these sessions, get in touch.

This course covers most of the common tasks and situations that an after-school nanny can expect to encounter.

It cover the daily tasks of an after school nanny (e.g. school pickups, cooking with children, helping with homework), meeting your and your children's basic needs (time keeping and communication), as well as going above and beyond (e.g. growth mindset or feedback). It also covers important topics like risk assessment and child safeguarding.

At the end of the course, nannies receives a booklet which summarises the content and contains even more information about how to be the best possible nanny for your children.

This course is specifically aimed at nannies who will be looking after children under 4, and provides the core knowledge that a nanny will need to care for younger children.
