Qualifications in Nursery Nursing

Introducing Nursery Nursing

Nursery nurses help qualified teachers in nursery, infant or primary classes. A nursery nurse can be the main teacher for a small group of children in a nursery school, but not once a child reaches primary school age. They are employed by schools, playgroups, crèches, part/full day nurseries, family centres, hospitals, private nurseries and in private households as nannies.

Responsibilities of a Nursery Nurse

  • Being a key carer.
  • Feeding, washing and cleaning young children.
  • Record keeping and monitoring development of all the children in the class.
  • Helping children with educational, emotional and social development.
  • Supporting special needs activities.
  • Being a supporting role in the development of a class/school curriculum.
  • Organising and executing fully planned lessons.
Part of the work may be to liase with other professionals such as social workers and medical staff, especially if there are special needs children in the class/school.

Why send your child to a Nursery School?

Nursery schools provide pre-school education for children, usually aged two to five. Research seems to indicate that the high percentage of learning that takes place in a child's first five years of life accelerates subsequent educational and social development. In recognition of this, the government has increased the availability of nursery and pre-school provision, much of this increase taking place within the private sector, sometimes in partnership with Local Education Authorities.

Qualifications in Nursery Nursing

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland the main qualification is the National Nursery Examination Board (NNEB) Diploma in Nursery Nursing (two years full-time, also available part-time), awarded by the Council for Awards in Children's Care & Education (CACHE). There is no minimum academic requirement for entry to the diploma course though most colleges will usually require at least three GCSEs at grade C or above. CACHE has introduced several new qualifications in nursery nursing: a Certificate, an Advanced Diploma and, for those already working with children but with no qualifications, the National Vocational Qualification/Scottish Vocational Qualification (NVQ/SVQ).

We sincerely hope that you will rapidly find the position/Nursery Nurse you are looking for, and welcome comments and suggestions on how we might improve our service to you.
