“I knew I wanted to be a nanny from the time I was 14. It was an unusual goal for a sporty boy growing up in Brighton. I was into soccer and skateboarding, and my other career goal was to be a skateboard film maker.”
Norland Nanny Ike (Set 43) is currently working with a family in New York City, US. In an interview with Business Insider, he shares his journey to Norland, his experience of training as one of only a small number of male students and his career as a Norland Nanny so far.

Male students at Norland
The first two male Norland degree graduates qualified as Norland Nannies in 2019. Male students make up around 3% of the Norland student body, which is in line with the national early years industry.
Initiatives to encourage more men to apply to Norland are seeing results. Five new first-year male students – the highest number in Norland’s 132-year history – began their training in September 2024.
