NatureFocus
At Nurture@Home Childcare & Education we are passionate about supporting children to connect with nature and Papatuanuku.
At our weekly NatureFocus the environments offer a variety of possibilities for exploring, planning, reasoning & learning as the children are able to study, discover, investigate and search. Developing a sense of belonging in their community and an attachment with nature.
At Nurture@Home Childcare & Education the children’s relationship to Papatūānuku is based on whakapapa, respect and aroha.

From the moment Charlene joined our team, she has brought warmth, care, and an incredible sense of calm to every child and family she works with. Her natural ability to create a home away from home has made a lasting impact, where children feel safe, loved, and truly seen.
Charlene, your passion, patience, and kindness shine through in everything you do. We are so grateful to have you as part of our Nurture@Home whānau and can’t wait to see all the beautiful moments still to come.
Happy first work anniversary, Charlene! 🥰🌸
There’s something truly special about the bond between a child and their home-based Educator. When little ones feel safe, loved, and at home, even a simple, heartfelt nickname can say it all. For the children who go to Nicki for care, that connection runs so deep that they lovingly call her their "Ninny" — a sweet little reminder that in her care, they feel like family!
Today we’re celebrating an incredible milestone!!! Delia, our wonderful Wakefield Educator marks 7 amazing years service as a home-based educator with Nurture@Home Nelson! 🎉💚
For seven years, you’ve opened your heart and your home to tamariki, creating a space where they feel safe, seen, and supported to learn and grow. Your dedication, warmth, and wisdom shine through in everything you do, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our whānau.
Thank you for the care, consistency, and love you’ve shared over the years — what an incredible journey it's been!
