Future Skills Academy is delighted to announce it will open a new Nanny Academy Campus in Takapuna this month.*

Future Skills acquired Ashton Warner Nanny Academy in 2022. The Nanny Academy had been operating from its current campus in Stanmore Bay for many years.

With the lease due to expire we’ve taken the opportunity to establish a contemporary learning space at a new location in Takapuna.

We’re now adding the final touches to the site at 51 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna and we look forward to welcoming new and existing students to the premises later in the month.

Going forward, new students will have the option of studying the NZ Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care (Level 3) and the NZ Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care (Level 5) from our new Takapuna Campus or our existing Future Skills Royal Oak Campus.

The first intake for our Takapuna Campus will begin on Monday 13 March.

These programmes are designed and owned by Ashton Warner Academy and marketed by Future Skills Academy.

Future Skills Marketing Manager, Kavi Sewdayal, said Future Skills took a number of factors into account when selecting the new Takapuna site, including transport options, size, disability access, and potential for expansion.

“Takapuna presented as one of the best locations with easy access to transport, a great feel of the campus, access to local amenities and student accommodation, attractive lease options, and immediate availability,” he says.

All staff and students have been consulted about the move and support will be provided to ensure a smooth transition.

“Once the Takapuna site made it to the shortlist, we did a survey with staff and students at Ashton Warner including the prospective students for our 2023 cohort and we received a great response from everyone for the selected site address in Takapuna,” says Kavi.

Another bonus of the campus is that we already have great relationships with schools on the North Shore and our new campus will bring us closer to our school-leaver community, he says.

Ashton Warner Academy’s Early Childhood Education programmes are great for those who want to contribute to the education and care of infants, toddlers, and young children and make a difference in the lives of tamariki.

Our graduates go on to work in a range of roles including as nannies, babysitters, and early childhood educators. They work in New Zealand and all over the world through our relationships with nanny agencies abroad.
