Newborn Education Services & Training Accredited non-medical Maternity Nursing Course
Our ethos: Caring for newborns, supporting you in supporting ‘new’ Mothers
20 years ago, we introduced the first accredited non-medical postnatal care course in non-medical maternity nursing, and the “NEST” Postnatal Care/non-medical Maternity Nursing was born.
With a distinct lack of community support in all areas of postnatal care and midwives stretched to the limit, it makes sense to look at the non-medical option.
Course Content & Fees
Part-funded by NEST, our postnatal care courses now incorporate breastfeeding, sleep, routine, identifying postnatal depression & multiples, as well as general care of the new mum and her new baby, so you don’t have to pay individual fees for each course. £495 with the option of joining a monthly payment plan at no additional cost to you.
A face-to-face, fully catered tuition day starts the study, followed by course work with as much tutorial support as needed – either by facetime, telephone, or email.

What is a Maternity Nurse (postnatal carer) and what does the role entail?
The Maternity Nurse is a non-medical postnatal carer who plays a tremendously important role in the lives of new mothers and their newborn babies
1. They provide support, advice and guidance
2. They may remain in the home until the mother feels confident to care for her own baby
3. Maternity Nurses (non-medical/postnatal carers) may choose to work on a consultancy-only basis and enjoy the flexibility to negotiate their hours, fees and contract arrangements
Welcome to NEST
For over thirty years I have worked within the regime of the young and the very young as a Maternity Nurse, a non-medical practitioner practising postnatal care, latterly becoming a teacher, researcher and educator. By combining these key ingredients I adapted my research into a training programme for those who wish to enter the specialist field of newborn care as a Maternity Nurse (Postnatal Carer / non-medical Maternity Nurse).
