Newborn Education Services & Training Accredited non-medical Maternity Nurse/Maternity Nanny/ Postnatal Care Courses
Caring for newborns, supporting you in supporting ‘new’ Mothers
Postnatal Care/non-medical Maternity Nursing
With a distinct lack of community support in all areas of postnatal care, and midwives stretched to the limit, it makes sense to look at the non-medical option.
The NEST course in Postnatal Care/non-medical Maternity Nursing provides the opportunity to gain accredited certification at levels 3 &/OR level 4
Level 3 Distance Learning with tutorial support: £440 (monthly payment plan option available)

NEST Nanny Course
Viewing being a Nanny as a Career is not a new phenomenon, but the Nanny Education Services & Training approach is fresh and modern.
The NEST Nanny Course offers ‘boutique learning’, designed and tailored to suit contemporary family living.
There is (and always will be) an element of the ‘old school’ in Nanny training but we have managed to harness the areas both parents and established nannies feel to be very relevant to today’s family school, home life and social calendar.
By evaluating the needs of each age group, we provide a template of learning programme which each nanny can adapt to her individual family needs.

What is a Maternity Nurse (postnatal carer) and what does the role entail?
The Maternity Nurse is a non-medical postnatal carer who plays a tremendously important role in the lives of new mothers and their newborn babies
They provide support, advice and guidance
They may remain in the home until the mother feels confident to care for her own baby.
Maternity Nurses (non-medical/postnatal carers) may choose to work on a consultancy-only basis, and enjoy the flexibility to negotiate their hours, fees and contract arrangements.
Welcome to NEST
For over thirty years I have worked within the regime of the young and the very young as a Maternity Nurse, a non-medical practitioner practising postnatal care, latterly becoming a teacher, researcher and educator. By combining these key ingredients I adapted my research into a training programme for those who wish to enter the specialist field of newborn care as a Maternity Nurse (Postnatal Carer / non-medical Maternity Nurse).
