BNT Community CIC - Who We Are

Belonging Nurture Thrive (BNT) Community CIC is a not for profit founded by Shada Bottrill (@nannysharz) a professional career nanny, advocate, entrepreneur and nanny coach of 22+ years. BNT hosts online and in person monthly wellness social events and CPD Training for career professionals in the early years, childcare and education sector. We connect peers, prioritise self-care and provide opportunities to develop their personal and (CPD) professional development skills.

NannyCON, our annual CPD Childcare and Wellness Conference is every April. We pride ourselves on being a diverse and inclusive community where you BELONG, are NURTURED and THRIVE to be the best version of yourself.

BNT Community offers a safe place for you to be yourself, gain support, advice and most importantly inherit a supportive, loving community that understands the day to day of the work we do. We believe in good vibes, positive energy and great connections.

OUR WHY?

Shada wanted to create a safe space for caregivers where they can be themselves, prioritise their emotional and mental health whilst also learning new skills to elevate their career. She saw there was a opportunity to do this after supporting nannies through her coaching programme. Then BNT was born in May 2022 and has since host over 85+ events and CPD Opportunities for caregivers in a 4 year span. We are passionate about building relationships, new friendships and providing a supportive and inclusive community.

Our community is mixed with nannies, early years practitioners, teachers, nursery practitioners, nursery managers, childminders, au pairs and other childcare professionals. You can find out more about our in person and online events here
