About
Norland College is a British higher education provider based in Bath, Somerset. The college specialises in childcare, and trains nannies, nursery nurses and other childcare professionals, who are employed worldwide.
Norland nannies are seen as a status symbol and are popular among celebrities and royals. Norland offers a three year degree programme: the BA (Hons) in Early Years Development and Learning, followed by a one year Norland diploma programme. In March 2019, Norland was awarded Taught Degree Awarding Powers by the Privy Council, which allows it to offer the degree through their institution, as well as enabling it to mark all student assessments internally.
In July 2026 it was announced that Norland College will acquire university status on the 7th September formally becoming Norland University of Early Childhood and the city of Bath's third university.
