This college trains nannies in everything from cyber security to sewing.
Young women in white gloves, beige dresses and felt hats emblazoned with the letter “N” flit between rows of sandy-colored Georgian houses in the ancient city of Bath in southwest England. If you’re lucky, you might just see one pushing along a bouncing, hooded, Victorian-style pram.
Keen to promote the ever-evolving curriculum, she likens today’s Norland nannies to both Mary Poppins and James Bond. Although they do get some training from ex-military intelligence officers, the bulk of students’ work is more traditional. Besides childcare, it’s important that students are equipped to handle the challenges adapting to a new family can take. In the real world, Norlanders may work up to 60 hours a week and will likely live in the family home. Their intimate, elastic role as employee, roommate, cook and, ultimately, stand-in parent can be tricky to navigate.
Rose says the career prospects makes the college’s “expensive” tuition more palatable. It costs around $20,000 a year to study at Norland, plus $1,300 for the iconic uniform, which students may never actually wear in their professional career. That’s relatively expensive for England, a country that saw widespread protests when politicians raised the university tuition fee cap from £3,375 to £9,000 a year in 2012.
As its royal connections suggest, Norland nannies often work for a bracket of society with very particular expectations. Fisher recently practiced making banana pancakes and fruit salad in class—the kind of food she ate as a child. But the oven-baked salmon and pan-fried sea bass she made in another lesson? Not so much.
A 'virtual baby' is pictured tucked into a Silver Cross pram at Norland College, Bath, April 25 2019. Katherine Hignett/Newsweek “A lot of what we do is sometimes seen as just tradition, but [we actually] think very carefully about it,” she added.
