Night Owls is a Maternity Nursing Agency that is settings new standards to ensure that it delivers the very best service possible to its clients. It has been forged out of a life-time of experience and skills developed by Jan Harrison, who has been a highly respected practitioner in the field of child-care and sleep training for more than 30 years. Jan began her training after leaving school when she completed two years full time study as a Nursery Nurse. This covered a variety of subjects including Child Development & Psychology, Child-care and Health. Jan further developed her skills through attending training courses as well as from practical experience gained, working in day nurseries, private homes, pre-schools, and in the villages of Pakistan teaching primary health care. She has specialised as a Maternity Nurse and Sleep Trainer (0-7 years) for more than 15 years. For some time now Jan has been concerned about the lack of regulation governing the employment of maternity and night nurses. Did you know:

That a Maternity Nurse needs no qualifications or training to practise? There is no professional body regulating Maternity Nurses or monitoring skills and ability. Some Maternity Nurses have no insurance, DBS check or Paediatric First Aid training. Consequently they will offer their services at a significantly discounted rate to that normally charged. Philosophy

Having worked with a number of agencies in the past Jan had a clear idea of the type of agency she wanted to establish. She believed that it should be one that would provide some of the best Maternity Nurses available and at the same time would embrace the highest standards in the delivery of that service. Jan knew from her own experience that every parent wants to know that when employing a Maternity Nurse, they were leaving their child in safe hands and could be confident in any advice they received. That is why Night Owls is committed to invest time in the ongoing training, supervision and selection of its Maternity Nurses. As far as we know it is the only agency that requires its Maternity Nurses to sign a commitment to a ‘Code of Conduct’. It is upon these key values that Night Owls (UK) Ltd has been established. Jan not only wanted to provide mentoring to the Maternity Nurses that Night Owls recommends, but to also be available to provide additional support to parents where this may be needed. Jan also wanted Night Owls to be competitive in its pricing structure. She felt that clients should not have to pay a premium to be offered experienced and trained Maternity Nurses, believing that this should be a basic provision offered by any Agency working within this field.

I am calling in just three lucky ladies to join us at this years June retreat. Messsge me if you have any questions.

I am calling in three lovely ladies to join us on this June retreat.
This whole house is just for us. The small exclusive group who is attending the MN retreat.
We get to work in houses like this but this is ours to relax and make ourselves at home. Reiki Or reflexology. Relaxing sound bath and sleep and so much more. Daring to give yourself your own time. Ready to make a difference for you. Stepping out of your normal comfort zone whether it’s actually comfortable or not to take a stand for you.

The moment I started taking care of me. Really taking care of me. Setting boundaries. Working less. Everything changed.
It started with a retreat just like this one.

Two ladies have pulled out due to work and travel commitments so has opened up two more places for some lucky ladies. Along with the one place left. Who is joining me. Margaret Holman. Christina Young. Rosemary Kennedy. Susan from Canada. I can’t tag everyone as they are not in this group. Clare Cogan with her Reiki. Angie with sound therapy. Paul with life strategy talk. Perfect for how to deal with stress that is thrown at us in life. Me to encourage you give you confidence to work the way you truly want to.
It’s going to be amazing. So exciting. 😃

Happ New Year, from Nightowls Maternity Agency. A Maternity Nurse is a professional, with a very special gift, to help parents with their newborn and babies up to a year old. When baby first arrives, help with feeding and then a routine. When baby is a little older, help with sleep. We all like more sleep. The household is happier and calmer when we all have sleep. fiona@nightowlsmaternity.co.uk.

Parents and babies are my passion. Mental health at normal times is hard, but pregnancy, post natal depression, pregnancy loss and these hard times is difficult for many. This is a very worthy local charity. This is needed more than ever. This year I have donated to this charity instead of sending Christmas cards.
I wish everyone health and happiness this Christmas. Merry Christmas.

The festive period is a difficult time for many, including our clients. And in January, we always hear from significantly more people who need our support for the first time. If you can, please consider making a direct donation to us this Christmas of £25. Your gift will help us to provide a specialist counselling session for a vulnerable person or couple in Gloucestershire facing pregnancy-related issues including baby loss.
You can donate by visiting: www.givey.com/footstepscounselling or simply click the 'donate' button on our page.

💙Thank you for your support! 💙
