The British Difference

Your child will experience authentic British nursery traditions that have shaped generations of well-mannered, confident children:

  • Language & Expression: Children naturally pick up delightful British vocabulary - saying "garden" for yard, "wellies" for rain boots, and proper "please" and "thank you" etiquette
  • Traditional Practices: British early years curriculum with structured learning through play, emphasis on outdoor time, and the famous British approach to routine
  • Cultural Enrichment: Story time traditions, proper table manners, and the confidence that comes from a properly British upbringing

Parents love when their children come home with charming British expressions and impeccable manners!

What is NNEB Certification?

The NNEB (National Nursery Examination Board) qualification is Britain's gold standard in nursery nurse training - a prestigious government-regulated certification that sets me apart from ordinary childcare providers.

I received my NNEB certification following a two-year intensive full-time program at Mable Fletcher College in Liverpool (1981) that involved comprehensive study, practical placements, and national examinations covering:

Child Development

Birth to age 8

Health & Safety

Pediatric first aid

Educational Play

Communication techniques

Practical Experience

Hands-on placements

💡
For Ottawa parents: This means your child benefits from British nursery expertise that's been the UK's benchmark for excellence in childcare for decades.
