If you need an extra pair of hands, you may be interested in hosting a Norland student placement

What is a student placement?

Norland students spend around a third of their training gaining practical experience in a variety of early years settings, including family environments for both daily and residential placements.

Daily placement
We’re looking for families living in Bath with one child under the age of two who are at home full-time rather than in any other childcare provision. You should be able to host a Norland student for eight hours a day, Monday to Thursday for set weeks potentially starting from September or over the academic year. You will need a primary carer at home full-time to support and guide the student with their practice, as well as host a visit from the placement team. We’re currently appealing for families to host Norland students on daily placement.

If you’d like to find out more, please contact the placement team

Families with multiples
We’re looking for families in Bath with multiples for daily placements, as detailed above, or within an hour’s drive of Bath if you have accommodation.

Residential placement
For Norland students to gain valuable experience of living in with a family, we’re looking for families with two or more children that have a SW postcode or within a 45-minute drive of the Bath area. One child will need to be under the age of two at
the start of the placement with the other under the age of five and the family will need a primary carer at home full-time. The students will do eleven hours per day, Monday to Thursday, with slightly reduced hours on a Friday.
