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 the floats started moving and the music started, the air was buzzing with excitement. Smiling faces lined the streets, little hands waved wildly, and the sound of laughter and Christmas cheer filled the night. Our team had so much fun soaking up the atmosphere, sharing laughs, and celebrating alongside such an incredible community.
Watching children’s eyes light up as we made our way through handing out our special little Nurture@Home flags was a beautiful reminder of why moments like these matter so much!! Connection, joy, and memories made together. We are so proud to be part of a community that comes together to celebrate the season with such heart and warmth.
Thank you Motueka for an unforgettable night ✨🎅
