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.

We hope all of our tamariki and whānau had a lovely Easter and are feeling ready for another exciting term ahead! We are looking forward to all the learning, exploring, and special moments that Term 2 will bring.
As the cooler weather starts to roll in, we encourage families to pack extra layers and spare clothes each day. This helps ensure our tamariki can still get outside, embrace the changing seasons, and continue to experience the magic of nature! rain, puddles and all! 🌧️🧥
We’ve got some wonderful plans coming up this term and can’t wait to share these experiences with our tamariki.

Along with B & Genna We are also celebrating Nikita, who also has her 1st work-anniversary with Nurture@Home today too!
In just one year, Nikita has created an incredible learning space for the children in her care thoughtfully set up to inspire curiosity, creativity, and exploration. Alongside this beautiful environment, she brings a genuinely caring heart to her role, forming strong and nurturing relationships with the children and families she works with.
We are also so proud of Nikita for recently completing her Level 4 Certificate in Early Childhood Education, a fantastic achievement that reflects her commitment to providing high-quality learning and care.
