Once established and having been registered and validated by all the relevant Boards and Bodies, Shawndene Nursery Training College will provide a high profile, two year training in Nursery Nursing for students of the right calibre. They will have satisfied the College authorities of their suitability by having the necessary academic qualifications; passed an internal entrance examination; been successful in two College interviews and able to confirm financial backing.

The College will also provide a Day Nursery for young babies and children 0-4/5 years.

National surveys and reports as well as our own market research over the past few years have shown an overwhelming need for a fourth private College.

Shawndene will stand uniquely as the only Christian Nursery Training College. A letter of commendation has been received from Baroness Cox, looking forward to the College’s earliest inauguration. A letter of commendation has also been received from Sir Archie Hamilton.

On the successful completion of their two year training, students will be awarded the internationally recognised Diploma in Child Care and Education) as validated by CACHE (Council for Awards for Children’s Care and Education. Please refer to accompanying letter); the Shawndene Diploma in Nursery Nursing; an NVQ Level 3 in Children’s Care and Education; a Health and Safety Certificate in First Aid; a certificate in Food Hygiene, awarded by RIPHH (Royal Institute of Public Health and Hygiene). Following three successful, consecutive years post graduation in relevant employment, all students will be eligible to apply for their Shawndene Medallion.

All staff appointed will hold appropriate, recognised qualifications with excellent references and will be totally committed to the College, its ethos and the principles upon which it is based.
