Boutique Education & Care

Nurture@Home is a local childcare service that covers the Nelson Tasman and Marlborough regions providing boutique early childhood care & education through our team of nurturing Educators who are infused with a love of learning; providing safe, heart-led, loving, respectful and stimulating environments for all children to blossom. We believe Home is where the Heart is and that the child is at the Heart of the matter.

Need Childcare?

Our passionate team of heart-led Educators are carefully chosen and whom we believe will provide the level of nurturing care we expect! All of our Educators are safety checked and are genuinely passionate about providing quality early childhood care and education.

Our Home Educators/Kaipoipoi work from their own homes with a maximum of four children, creating a positive, nurturing environment and provide a rich programme to support each child/tamaiti to achieve their full potential.

Our Nanny Educators/Kaipoipoi attend to your childs/tamaiti needs, supporting their learning and development in the comfort of the childs/tamaiti own home. Nanny Educators/Kaipoipoi can also work alongside the families/whanau in a support role.

Our FREE Playschools

Children learn best through play and that is why we provide two Nurture@Home Playschools EVERY WEEK during term time.

Playschools provide lots of socialisation opportunities for children and adults and our Playschools are open to anyone in the community so you are welcome to join us.

We are licensed by the Ministry of Education and passionate about our active programme of activities full or rich learning experiences. Time and time again research shows that group size and child to adult ratios are key factors in quality outcomes for children. Providing tamariki with the opportunity to unfold and learn at their own pace and develop to their fullest potential.

Become an Educator

Enjoy the benefits of being self employed, make life-long friendships and a great income all while being involved in children’s learning as part of a great team.

Working as an Educator with Nurture@Home as your support network you become part of a fun, nurturing and professional team, caring for children in your own home as an at-home Educator or in the families home as a Nanny Educator. You can choose to work part-time or full-time and choose hours to suit your own family.

We would love to hear from you if you are interested in joining our team.

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.

Can we just take a moment to celebrate our wonderful Service Manager/Visiting teacher Janelle, who today has been teaching for 30 years!

Janelle is the most incredible mentor, leader, and runs the most heart-led home-based ECE service in the whole wide world. She is someone we all look up to in our roles working with children.

Her passion for quality home-based early childhood education is unwavering and she deserves all the recognition in the world today and everyday!

Thankyou Janelle for being the everything in Nurture@Home, and providing all children who come through your service the VERY BEST in early childhood education.

You are the best!

Every day is a chance to learn something new! Playschool provides our tamariki opportunities for new experiences, exploration and connection. We explored our creativity making Mother's day cards❤️ We revisited our Te Wheke pūrākau (story) using props the children could explore and recreate with and explored what a taniwha may look like using playdoh. We celebrated Sign Language Week with some sign language, practiced our 'Kei hea te tuna' and joined in with a song by Tiki Taane, 'No place like Home in NZSL'🙌 And sang 'Happy birthday' to two of our lovely whanau celebrating their birthday today! 🧡🍂🌼🌿

NZ SIGN LANGUAGE WEEK! 👋🙌👏
Here's a NZSL version of a song by a very lovely, local children's musician , Kath Bee - Children's Songwriter Give this a go with your children. Such fun and valuable learning.

Did you know that May is also New Zealand Music month? What is your child's favourite song at the moment. Let us know in the comments and we will feature this in our very own Nurture@Home Spotify playlist.

We have lived overseas and in other cities in New Zealand and I can easily say that Nuture@Home has been the best childcare provider we have used. All the staff are so enthusiastic and keen and most importantly child-focused. In fact, we have referred many of our work colleagues and friends on to Nuture@Home as we have been so impressed by every aspect of their organisation. They pay particular attention to a child’s individuality and are delighted with their developments and achievements. We like Nurture@Home’s approach where time and care are invested in each child ensuring they thrive in their home environment.

My son will miss his outings to play-school very much when he begins school later this year!
