In-Home Childcare
Nurtured at Home began with the simple idea of “Children are our first Priority.” Our vision is to provide nurturing, quality, and flexible early childhood education for families, whānau, and their children, aiming to improve outcomes for all involved in our service.
Our in-home Educators offer full and part-day care for up to four preschool children at a time, with a maximum of two under two. Small ratios ensure individualised care in a nurturing, educational, and fun home environment. Regular outings and playgroups give children opportunities for larger group interactions while staying secure with their familiar Educator.
Our Educators are guided and supported by experienced Visiting Teachers who are qualified and registered Early Childhood teachers. Our service is licensed by the Ministry of Education and reviewed by the Education Review Office.
At Nurtured at Home we believe it is important that you choose an Educator that is right for you and your child.
Our Visiting Teachers will work with and alongside you, your Educator, and your child providing individualised support, guidance and resources to ensure your child is receiving a nurturing, educational and fun learning environment.
When you enrol with Nurtured at Home, you can enjoy the following benefits:

Safe with us:
-Nurtured at Home® is licensed by the Ministry of Education and regularly reviewed by the Education Review Office to ensure that all our homes meet the Ministry of Education’s Licensing Criteria for Homebased Services (2008), and that Educators with Nurtured at Home® provide quality, nurturing, educational and fun learning environments for your child.
All of our in-home Educators and their families are safety-checked, including Police vetting, in line with the Children’s Act 2014, and all of our Educators hold a current first aid certificate. Educators attend regular professional development, providing them with up-to-date knowledge and information to ensure they can deliver the highest quality education to your child.
Care and Education:
-In addition to the relationship you and your child build with your Educator, you will receive daily updates, learning portfolios, and regular contact with your Visiting Teacher. Nurtured at Home is guided by Te Whāriki, the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum. Te Whāriki is underpinned by a vision for children who are “competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.” At Nurtured at Home, we foster five learning dispositions: courage, trust, perseverance, confidence, and responsibility, within a safe, nurturing and fun home environment.

As a parent, all you want is for your child to be in safe and caring hands while you can't be there. My Educator was so loving and gentle; she really cared. This makes all the difference in your transition back into the workforce....

Our Educator became part of our family and we became part of hers. Her bond with my child was very special and I loved dropping her off there every day....
