What Qualifications Do We Look For?

Until recently, there has been no specific Maternity Nurse qualification, however, listed Below are ones that are recognised and appropriate to the profession:-

• Cache level 3 - old NNEB certificate (National Nursery Examination Board)
• BTEC Nursery Nursing
• NAMCW - National Association of Maternal and Child Welfare
• Midwifery & Nursing Diplomas, certificates and degrees.
• City & Guilds (Caring Services)

Registered candidates are advised to keep themselves up-to-date with current research and advice by renewing first aid certificates and by attending agency run breast-feeding and colic and reflux workshops.

The more recent Maternity Nanny Training course is an excellent way for nannies to obtain entry into the maternity profession and for more established nurses to obtain an update on current advice and practice. Affiliated courses are also run on postnatal depression, multiple births and paediatric first aid.

We check all certificates where possible with the relevant awarding bodies for validity and authenticity. Although qualifications are useful, there are many Maternity Nurses who do not hold any formal qualifications but have years of experience within childcare and are excellent at caring for new born babies.

Maternally Yours prides itself on providing high standards of maternity care. We have an ongoing reference checking procedure whereby we send out confidential forms to each client in order to monitor standards and check a candidate's ongoing suitability.
