What makes us different

There are many reasons why Norland is different to any other university offering an early childhood degree.  

Partly it’s the 130-year reputation dedicated to pioneering early years training and producing the best early years practitioners. Partly it’s the award-winning training students receive that perfectly blends theory, practice and extensive real-world experience alongside a unique value-added curriculum. It’s also the incredible support students receive throughout their studies and for the rest of their careers when they join the Norland family and become a part of history. 

Most of all, it’s the outstanding career opportunities graduates have as soon as they earn the professional title ‘Norlander’ or ‘Norland Nanny’ supported by their very own recruitment agency and backed up by the world-famous Norland name.
