NNEB Maternity Nurses

Qualified British Maternity Nurses for Families in the UK and Internationally

At NNEB Paragon Bookings, we specialise in introducing qualified British Maternity Nurses to families seeking professional newborn care in the UK and around the world.

 

Our network includes experienced childcare professionals who hold government-regulated childcare qualifications and have worked with newborn babies, young children, and families across private households, hospitals, maternity settings, and educational environments.

Many of our maternity nurses originally trained under the former National Nursery Examination Board (NNEB), widely regarded as one of the most respected childcare qualifications ever awarded in the United Kingdom.

Whether you are preparing to welcome your first baby, expecting twins, welcoming a baby through surrogacy, or seeking experienced support during the early weeks and months of parenthood, we can help you find the right professional for your family.

What Is An NNEB Maternity Nurse?

An NNEB Maternity Nurse is a childcare professional who holds, or originally trained under, the National Nursery Examination Board qualification and has gone on to develop specialist experience caring for newborn babies and supporting families during the postnatal period.

The original NNEB Diploma was a government-regulated childcare qualification that combined academic study with extensive practical training and professional assessment.

Many NNEB-qualified professionals have built careers working in:

  • Private households

  • Maternity nurse placements

  • Hospitals and maternity units

  • Day nurseries

  • Schools and educational settings

  • Special educational needs services

  • Social services and family support roles

This broad foundation provides many NNEB-qualified maternity nurses with a strong understanding of child development, safeguarding, family dynamics, and professional childcare practice.

Why Choose A Qualified Maternity Nurse?

The title "Maternity Nurse" is currently unregulated in the United Kingdom, meaning there is no legal requirement for an individual using the title to hold a recognised childcare qualification.

At NNEB Paragon Bookings, we believe parents should understand the difference between government-regulated childcare qualifications and short continuing professional development (CPD) courses.

When selecting maternity nurses, we prioritise professionals who hold recognised childcare, nursing, midwifery, or early years qualifications and who can demonstrate substantial practical experience working with babies and families.

Qualifications may include:

  • NNEB Diploma

  • CACHE Childcare and Education qualifications

  • Early Years Educator qualifications

  • Norland Diploma

  • Registered Nursing qualifications

  • Midwifery qualifications

  • Other recognised childcare and education awards
