Our Story

We are incredibly proud, passionate and excited about Nurture@Home – Quality Early Learning & Care – here is our story.

Nurture@Home Quality Early Learning & Care was launched in September 2014 and we have wonderful Educators and families under our ‘umbrella’ of support and we value each and every one of them!

Having over 30 years experience in early childhood education, with the last 15 being involved in homebased care, we are passionate about what we do and are driven to provide quality early learning. We love being there for Educators & Families, supporting them in this valuable role that they play each day in what we believe is laying foundations for the future!

Nurture@Home is home-based care with a difference

We offer professional development opportunities on parenting and child development topics and are happy to help and support families with their childcare needs. We also offer career opportunities working as an Educator for kindred souls who love children (or perhaps may not have thought of this before until you have had your own children). Then we are here to provide guidance and support as you embark on a new career. We believe that HOME is where the heart is and that tamariki are the heart of the home.

Nurture@Home is home-based care and education, with a difference.  An alternative to centre based childcare, offering small group sizes with a maximum of 4 children under the age of 6 and never more than 2 children under the age of two (unless siblings), in the Educators own home or in the families home.

Approved by the Ministry of Education, Nurture@Home upholds the Licensing Criteria for Home-Based Education and Care Services (2008) and the Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008.

The Best Decision

My hubby and I have thoroughly enjoyed sending our son Louie to Nurture@Home each week. People all warned us about going to ‘in-home care’, saying things like he won’t get used to lots of other children, etc., etc., but NO Way! We have found it to be the best decision! Children get more one-on-one with their educator, and they do…

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…

I recently joined the Nurture@Home team as an Educator because their philosophy falls close to my heart. I feel they have exceeded my expectations in terms of support, subsidies for families, professional development and regular group experiences (Playschool and NatureFocus etc). I feel that these experiences contribute to providing a rich programme for the children and an opportunity to develop…
