We started Nurtured at Home with the simple idea of “Children being our first Priority”. Nurtured at Home’s vision is to provide quality, affordable and accessible early childhood education for families, whanāu and their children with the aim of improving outcomes for all involved in our service.

Our in-home Educators provide full and part day education and childcare in their own homes for up to 4 preschool children at any one time, with only 2 children under the age of two.  Small ratios mean your child receives individualised care in a nurturing, educational and fun home environment.  Regular outings and playgroups offered by Nurtured at Home™ provide your child the opportunity to experience larger group interactions while having the security of 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.

Care and Education:

In addition to the relationship you and your child build with your Homebased 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.
