What is Nest Learn?

Nest Learn is a learning management system for children's care providers. It combines a library of 30+ CareCPD-accredited online courses with tools for managing face-to-face and external training. Managers create Learning Paths, set deadlines and choose assignments, with a preview before saving. Staff see their training, resume online courses and view upcoming sessions. A Training Matrix and manager dashboard show progress and gaps across Homes, with bank staff grouped separately. Managers can schedule sessions, record attendance and attach evidence. Nest supports onboarding by importing staff and historic training records, while role-based access keeps each person's view appropriate to their responsibilities.

Overview of Nest Learn benefits

Give managers a clear view of what needs attention without maintaining spreadsheets. The Training Matrix distinguishes missing training from missing assignments, while session bookings are tracked separately. Open a record to see completion, expiry and due dates, then follow links to the evidence. Keep online, face-to-face and external learning in one training history. Schedule an event across several Homes and record attendance together. Build reusable Learning Paths for induction and development, while managers retain control over assignments. Set up new starters before their first day. Corrections and replacement certificates retain earlier versions, helping teams understand how a record has changed.
