Nanny Wisdom Swap
Host: Holgate Nannies
Info: Every nanny has a brilliant tip or a question they've always wanted to ask. This relaxed discussion session is your chance to share your best idea, ask for advice, and discover practical solutions and creative inspiration from your fellow nannies. Whether it's behaviour, routines, activities, communication with families, or work-life balance, we'll learn from one another in a supportive and encouraging environment. Through open discussion and collaboration, we'll build confidence, expand our knowledge, and strengthen our nanny community.
This workshop is all about the power of shared experience. No one understands nanny life better than other nannies!

In Baby's Shoes: A Hands-On Guide to Safe, Nourishing BLW
Host: Petit Gourmet Academy
Info: Step into a baby's shoes for this hands-on session on safe, nourishing Baby-Led Weaning. Nannies will taste and feel real foods prepared across three developmental stages, learning to identify the optimal shape and texture for each stage, recognise choking risks, and understand how food presentation can support a baby's motor development. This provides the practical, sensory knowledge that goes beyond theory to real day-to-day care with Mélody, a paediatric dietitian specialised in infant and toddler feeding and eating behaviours, and founder of Petit Gourmet Academy.
