The Modules & Our Trainers

Each module has been carefully selected, written and tweaked to ensure our student nannies gain a broad range of skills and the confidence to step into almost any situation in a family environment, knowing that they can do it.

Our team of trainers have been hand selected for their skills, knowledge and ability to inspire our student nannies to learn, ask questions and get as much out of the course as possible.

Module 1: Baby Basics, 0 -12 months

An intensive, whistle stop tour of caring for babies, the baby basics course gives nannies the skills and confidence to support a family with their newest arrival. Our training team are real, honest and relatable, sharing their experiences from both a nannying and parenting perspective.

Module 2: Children’s emotional health

This module has been developed with Dr Maryhan, who is a highly sought after child psychologist. Throughout the module students will cover a wide variety of topics, develop a toolkit of resources and will establish key pillars in their understanding of children's emotional health and how best to support them.

Module 3: Family cooking & nutrition

This module focuses on building the nannies confidence to cook healthy, simple and delicious food for children (and their families). With a big focus on gut health and zero waste (both from a financial and environmental perspective) the nannies will learn simple recipes, easy adaptations and how to overcome lots of challenges they may regularly face when cooking for children!

Module 4: paediatric first aid

A 12-hour blended course; 6 hours of e-learning (completed in advance) and 6-hours of practical learning. This is an industry standard, recognised course that will give nannies the skills and confidence to handle any first aid situation. It is super practical with the students moving around the property to better understand different first aid scenarios.

Created by Jo, the Founder of Freckles. This Module is all about empowering nannies to be their best selves and therefore help to raise children to theirs too!
