Where Children Flourish —
and Educators Feel Supported.

Relationship-led early learning in Nelson Tasman & Marlborough

Children thrive in environments where they feel safe, known and emotionally secure.

Through small group care, consistent relationships, and intentional social experiences, we create strong foundations for confident, well-rounded children.

Because when children feel at home, they flourish. 💛

Nurture@Home is a locally owned home-based early learning service in Nelson Tasman and Marlborough. We provide relationship-led care through a team of nurturing Educators, creating warm, calm, small group environments that foster confidence, curiosity and emotional security.

We partner with whānau to support each child’s wellbeing and development because learning begins at home.

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.

Today we celebrate an incredibly special milestone 3 beautiful years with Nurture@Home for our wonderful Kaiako, Katherine 🌿

Nurture at Home with Kaiako Katherine brings a calm, gentle presence that makes children feel safe, valued and deeply cared for from the moment they walk through her door. The love she has for the tamariki in her care shines through in every interaction, every thoughtful invitation to learn, and every little moment of connection she creates throughout the day.

Her learning environment is truly something special rich in wonder, curiosity, creativity and belonging. Katherine’s programme is aspirational for all ECE kaiako; beautifully intentional, child-led, and filled with meaningful opportunities that nurture confidence, independence and joy in learning. She has an incredible way of seeing each child for exactly who they are and supporting them to flourish at their own pace.

Katherine has touched the hearts of so many children and whānau, creating memories and relationships that will be treasured for years to come. This includes the residents of @coastalviewcarecentre with her very special music in rest homes program she runs with our wider Nurture tamariki there.

Thank you, Katherine, for the warmth, kindness, dedication and magic you bring to Nurture@Home each and every day. We are so lucky to have you as part of our village 💛

Happy 3 year anniversary! 🌸
