Nanny Link – Training Common Core skills and Consultancy Services

Nanny Link is an independent Training, development and consultancy specialising in childcare. Offering Common core skills enabling Ofsted registration. We opened in 1996 and have been helping local nannies, Au pairs, child carers and families giving personal and professional service for Nannies and Nurseries. We can offer the assurances of over 30 years of experience. Margaret who is the founder of Nanny Link is NNEB trained, has worked as a Nanny, Personnel Management, recruitment and a working parent who employed a Nanny so truly understanding all aspects of being a nanny and parent.  Margaret is currently with Canterbury Christchurch University to become a qualified trainer/tutor and to gain degree level in this work. All 30 years’ experience coupled with professional training in teaching enables us to offer a first-class training programme for nannies.  This will enhance the nannies understanding in the important role a they play in your children’s life’s and this can reflect on the care and wellbeing of their charges.  Being a nanny is not just a job it is a vocation and importantly the enjoyment of seeing children learn, develop and helping them to feel confident in a fast growing and changing world.

I use the analogy that people would not take a stranger off the street to cut our hair without being trained. so, would we allow a stranger to care for our children without training?

Training is available with flexibilty ,we offer a wide selection of courses, from tasters £10.00, individual learning sectors for updating skills form £25.00 to the full 6 common core skills for Ofsted registration.  In addition we are able to help anyone who has access to a computer as we can link via video.  Times and days are flexible so just ask….

We work with Nanny agencies offering training to their nannies and we have links to their sites so parents and nannies are able to source employment via a reputable agency.  Our work extends to the Trading Association for nanny agencies http://www.anauk.org/find-an-agency/
