The Nanny Movement Brings Training to Potch: Two-Part CNT Series Kicks Off in June

In June 2025, The Nanny Movement is heading to Potchefstroom with its two-part Childcare Nanny Training (CNT) series. The sessions are designed for nannies, childminders, and anyone working closely with little ones, offering a packed programme of practical, no-nonsense training.

Part 1: Foundations First

📍 Date: 5 June 2025

⏰ Time: 09:00 – 16:00

💰 Cost: R1410 per person

Part 1 covers the basics, and then some. It’s aimed at building solid groundwork for those entrusted with children's care. Sessions include:

• Setting boundaries and understanding professional conduct

• Hygiene and feeding guidelines (because yoghurt-on-the-ceiling isn’t a milestone)

• Emergency contacts, safety responses, and what to do when things go pear-shaped

• Safety in the bath, around water, and during daily routines

• How to fill out a daily report card, yes, it's a thing

• Baby stimulation, motor skills development, and speech support

• Planning activities and assembling that all-important activity box

It’s structured but practical, so attendees don’t just sit through lectures, they walk away with tools to use right away.

Part 2: The Follow-Up (With CPR)

📍 Date: 10 June 2025

⏰ Time: 09:00 – 15:00

💰 Cost: R1410 per person

🫀 Optional CPR add-on: R400

Things get a bit more advanced in Part 2. This time, there’s a focus on day-to-day challenges and child development, plus a CPR demonstration for those who opt in.

Topics include:

• Solids introduction and the joys of toilet training

• Routine building and managing the daily juggle

• Emotional development, self-regulation and how to help little ones name those Big Feelings

• Activity planning for both structured and unstructured play

• Setting up the playroom, using household items for toys (yes, the cardboard box really is the winner)

• And wrapping up with guidance on planning a balanced day

This part really drills down into the “how” of childcare, with a bonus CPR component, because knowing how to respond in a crisis is just as vital as knowing how to organise a crayon box.
