A Bury College Childcare student is celebrating receiving a coveted University offer from an institution famous for training an elite class of nannies.
Keeley Orrell is setting her sites on becoming a Norland Nanny as she aims to progress onto Bath’s Norland College. The highly renowned institution is recognised as a world class training establishment and specialist provider of early years training and education.
The former St James CE High School pupil is delighted to have been offered a place at the prestigious university. Keeley said, “I am so happy that I have been offered a place at Norland College. This will be a brilliant opportunity for me to learn a range of new skills in areas such as cooking, sewing and self-defense.”
