  • Is this the real life Mary Poppins?
    Welcome to Norland College, the quintessentially British 120-year-old childcare training college which turns its students into elite 21st Century Mary Poppins-style nannies.
    Norland Nannies have been sought after by the rich and famous for over a century, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate, recently hiring a Norlander as a nanny for Prince George. Founded in 1892 by Emily Ward, the college is renowned for its rigorous rules, traditional uniform, perfect buns and clean white gloves.
    In this unique documentary, viewers get an insight into how contemporary Norland students embrace and champion the college’s tradition and training. Alongside their academic lessons the girls’ training includes practical lessons in cooking and sewing, as well as some more hands-on challenges like keeping a baby happy. The students are also taught advanced driving skills, including how to evade chasing paparazzi and take corners at high speed in the rain.
    The reality of how exhausting childcare might be is instilled in the students using virtual babies; electronically programmed baby simulators whose cries are painfully real. For 48 hours the students have to keep the baby happy, clean and fed before the data is downloaded and the girls are assessed on the results.
    From sewing quillows (a quilt that folds into a pillow) to learning how to make up a Silver Cross pram, the girls are given a breadth of knowledge and skills, but to be a 21st century Mary Poppins they're going to need more up their sleeves than 'a spoonful of sugar'!

    I trained at Norland from 1983-1985 when the college was in Berkshire. For many years, I considered these years the best of my life. Many friendships made then have survived all this time!! My starting salary was £80 cash in hand a week, working in Notting Hill, but my employer was absolutely horrible to me. I went on to work for many other families in London and was asked to be godmother to one of my charges. She is now 32 and she’s coming to stay with me next weekend 🥰 I have two grown up daughters and am now working as a teaching assistant at a local primary school in the New Forest.

    We actually had these electronic babies at my highschool. You would see the students taking the health class walk around with their babies on campus and then sometimes have to step out of class because their baby wouldn't stop crying. Also, we didn't have the bracelets on our wrists but everything else was about the same. The sensors on the baby's body, the diapers, and milk bottles. We also had to keep a diary on the baby and the times it would cry. By the end of the project, the teacher would turn off the babies and then grade us based on the data recorded on the babies. However, one student wasn't aware that the teacher had to manually turn them off. He assumed that the baby would automatically turn off, so when he came to the class, he dropped the baby on the floor and said, "I'm done thank god". And then the baby let out the most peircing scream ever and died💀So yeah, he killed his baby right before the project ended and he got an F. Because our teacher said that whoever kills their baby gets an automatic F. Poor dude.

      My middle school had those electronic babies as well. They had two versions of them, one has the silver little button that you stick into the baby's back and sooth them gently by holding your wrist in position and gently rock/bounce them until they are fully relaxed and asleep, while the other requires a use of the key to stick into the baby and turn them while doing the same thing. The silver button version is newer and has a bracelet much like you see by the nannies in training in the video. They key version is older and have a strap that attaches the key to your wrist. Both babies record what you have done to the babies and how long they have been crying, and the teacher uploads the data to the computer and grade the students at the end of the project. I don't remember if we ever did a diary as a part of the project. We were given a baby carrier that we strap onto our bodies to help carry the baby among other things.
      There is this one boy who thought that the whole project was a joke and just locked his baby in his closet for the entire project except for when he needs to go to school. When we and our regular teacher sees him holding the baby over his shoulder like he is holding a sweatshirt, she wasn't happy and tried to explain to him that he shouldn't carry a baby like that. On the day that the project is done and the boy turns in his baby, the baby had recorded that he had never taken care of the baby and just let it cry for "hours" on end. The baby had recorded 45 minutes of crying. Meanwhile mine and other people who tried to carry on the project properly had recorded around 7-10 minutes throughout the project like what the nannies in training in the video had recorded. The health teacher who handed us the project had a serious talk with the boy and she spoke loud enough for us to hear what she had been saying. It appears that the electronic babies are programed to stop crying if they haven't gotten any form attention for several minutes. This was over 15 years ago, I hope that the boy in my class never have children.

    I am not a trained nanny but instead a trained health professional who worked as a nanny in the USA with Jewish family and the experience was grand. They treated me as family and cared for me as how they would care for themselves. They didn't want me to leave when it was time to go. These people were wonderful. Long hours yes but the mom relieved me once in so I had some free time. I got a job description and I worked with it. Followed their instructions and it was good. I would love to learn to swim well and master driving defensively like these nannies. They training is in-depth and alot of skills to be taught for celebrity jobs. Well done ladies and tutors.

    In Singapore a lot of families have a Filipino maid. Wealthy and middle class families can easily afford it since It cost around $400 SGD a month (this was back in 2012). It was certainly a status symbol, as well as having a stay at home wife (who doesn’t lift a finger). The helpers were expected to do all cooking, house chores, baby sitting and nurse duties for older relatives living in the same house. The only day they had off was Sunday. One day the whole island nation took a vote as to whether the maids should be allowed to have Sunday off. The vote did not pass. My friend was very angry because she did not enjoy having to turn her own grandmother over in bed every few hours on Sundays since she was bedridden. She felt it was beneath her. A lot of Singaporeans were raised by their helpers since their parents had a hands off approach. Some of the helpers let the kids pee on the side of the playground or were too busy socializing to keep them from running into the street. There are always good ones and bad ones. If you’re going to be a nanny, Norland seems to have the best clients / connections and training. The girls seem happy. Would love to see a follow up video to see what it’s like being on the job, and their thoughts a few years down the road…

    Man I’ll never forget having to give a presentation for what we called our Senior Project in high school. You worked on it for half of your senior year, picking a career, studying it, doing an internship with someone in the community in that career, writing an at least 10 page paper on the past, present and future of that field and then finally presenting it all to a panel who then judged you and if you fail then you don’t graduate. I did Arson Investigation and actually was walking home one day and there was a house on fire in my neighborhood and the fire chief that was mentoring me was there. I got to take pics with their camera for the investigation and one of the pics got on the front page of the paper! It definitely helped my project lol. No one was hurt, it was an old house. Anywho… I know how these girls felt doing their nursery presentations. I hope these girls have gone on to find their perfect families and continue to kick ass!

    This is not a easy job if you get the wrong parents, by this I mean someone who wants a slave and pays badly but wants you to run the house. I had a mum of two lovely girls under 6 but she was hardly there and when she was off work she would leave me babysitting as much as possible to go find a guy to bring home and screw. I would then have to sneak said man out of the house. You could not have friends around or invite anyone for dinner. She was the most selfish cow I ever had the opportunity to work for. Other parent could be so good to you and treat you like family .This makes it look like a dream job but its very hard work and unless you are a Norland trained nanny living in London the wages are not that great either. One dad who I worked for told his wife that she was giving me to much work to do and said to his wife you would not do that in a day so why are you making the Nanny. You will also find some Mums get jealous of the relationship their child makes with the Nanny if the mum is away all the time. The children with the slaggy mum used to wake in the night and get in my bed for cuddles sometimes saying mummy has her door locked . If you get the dream family this could be a lovely job but lots of times the Nanny will leave because of the hours, Money or treatment they receive.

    Hi , This documentary was great
    I’ve a big fondness in my heart for Britain 🇬🇧 (GB) my fondness (probably goes without saying) includes all of your many long and beautiful traditions ❤️ I love how much you care about your traditions and how important it seems to be (in my eyes) to preserve them and pass them on to every new generation 🙏
    Much love xxx, Grace

    This is such an interesting topic. I love the old-world prestige of the nanny school.

      Yes but. That's mostly what it is. And for that cost. I mean. I'm sure they could've whiddled it down to a two year certificate. I've never had a nanny. But if I did. And she surprised me by making a mobile...I'd be like oh how nice!!! This doesn't go with the decor of the baby's room at all. Annn all mommy's get mobiles for baby's crib. You can only use one. And I'd chuck ( however guiltily) in the closet.

    I've taken pride in being a Nanny for wealthy families... with intelligence and motherly instincs. The first criteria is to love children as much as you love GOD... And to love teaching and nurturing them as your own. And THAT, landed me excellent jobs!

      Shame that the parents didn't actually raise their own children, as God intended.

      @Jackie Bourg I'm obviously not asking for confidential information but were you trained to deal with the less ideal employer?
      What happens if you are asked by your employer to do something that as a trained professional, you know to be detrimental to the children in your care?

      As a nanny, you have two options. 1) state how your opinion and stand your ground. either your employer responds well or…does not 2) begin looking for another job.
