Testimonials

Nicki is so kind caring, gentle but also fun!

“I put my daughter in with Nicki when she was 15/16 months old and it was the best choice I could have made. My daughter only goes 2 days a week but she settled in so easily and quickly as her educator / kaipoipoi is so kind caring, gentle but also fun! Nicki made my daughter and I both feel so comfortable from the get go! This was so important to me as I just had a new baby and was so worried about how my daughter would get on with so many changes happening.

The experiences they get with nurture at home is awesome, such a cool environment for our tamariki with lots of exciting activities. I love how they experience time with their familiar small groups and get the chance to experience learning with large groups of tamariki too. The communication between parent and educator is such an underrated part of this childcare service. I love reading the learning updates from her teacher and seeing the photos of my daughter experiencing new things, learning, making friends and having fun. Definitely recommend placing your child with one of the awesome home based educators that work for Nurture at Home. I couldn’t be happier”

Get started yesterday

Beautiful company to work with, in fact describing Nurture@Home as a company doesn’t feel right at all – it’s closer to being a large extended family in every sense & words can’t describe how amazing this is. I am thankful and blessed to be part of such a kind, loving, nurturing, heart centered, supportive community. I have truly flourished in my time with Nurture. If your considering either placing your pride and joy with Nurture@Home or becoming an Educator yourself, the only advice I have to offer is – GET STARTED YESTERDAY – because this is a fabulous opportunity & people are clicking on to it. Spaces do not hang around long! Thank you for all of the love, support & opportunities you provide us with as Educators Nurture, we adore you.

We believe children thrive when they have the freedom to explore, discover, and connect with the natural world. Through experiencing our weekly NatureFocus, tamariki develop confidence, curiosity, a sense of belonging, and a deep respect for Papatūānuku. We nurture children's connection to the land, their community, and the understanding that they are an important part of the world around them. 💚

What a wonderful day of learning through play at Playschool! 🌿

Our tamariki explored their creativity and problem-solving skills in the woodwork area, safely using tools to design and build their own unique creations. 🔨

The slime station was a huge hit, providing hands-on sensory exploration while encouraging curiosity, experimentation, and early science learning. 💚

Natural crafts inspired imagination as children worked with materials from nature, developing fine motor skills and an appreciation for the environment. 🍂🌸

The heuristic play space offered opportunities for open-ended discovery, where children investigated, sorted, stacked, and explored a variety of everyday objects.

For those seeking a quieter moment, our cosy book corner provided a peaceful space to relax, enjoy stories, and develop a love of reading.

Every experience today supported learning, creativity, independence, and fun—just the way childhood should be!

Belonging Comes Before Learning
