Empowering Parents with Expertise
Young Beginnings offers a warm, personalised and expert-led approach to supporting families through the early years. Rooted in a deep understanding of child development, and shaped by decades of qualified specialist experience alongside hands-on childcare practice, Young Beginnings combines professional expertise with practical, real-world insight. This unique depth of experience allows support to be thoughtfully tailored to each child and family, helping to create a calm, connected foundation during some of the most important stages of early life. Every family is supported with safe, evidence-informed guidance designed to help them feel understood, reassured and more confident along the way.
Hello, I’m Nicola Young - the founder of Young Beginnings, a holistic consultancy supporting families with baby and toddler sleep.
With over 20 years of experience as a paediatric nurse, and the last 10 years as a Children’s Advanced Nurse Practitioner, I currently split my clinical time between a busy A&E department and a GP surgery. This dual role keeps me closely connected to families and the day-to-day challenges they face, from newborn care to toddler transitions.
Before moving into nursing, I worked with children in a wide range of settings including nurseries, nannying, after-school clubs and as a children’s holiday rep. These early roles gave me a deep-rooted understanding of child development, which has grown and developed through years of clinical work.
I hold a First-Class Honours Nursing degree and Masters, and I combine clinical knowledge with a compassionate, family-centred approach.
I’m also a mum to a young child, and a proud auntie to three nieces and two nephews - experiences that keep me grounded in the realities of parenting today.
Young Beginnings was created from my passion to support parents and their little ones during the most precious - and often most challenging - early years. Whether you're seeking sleep solutions, potty training guidance, or a way to bond through baby massage or yoga, I'm here to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
