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.

An incredible 8 years of Delia being part of the Nurture@Home whānau.
Delia has worn many hats over the years as a dedicated home-based Educator and a trusted nanny and in every role, she has shown unwavering care, patience, and heart. The impact she has had on the children and families she has worked alongside is something that can’t be measured, it’s felt, remembered, and deeply appreciated.
Her commitment to Nurture@Home, her passion for nurturing young minds, and the genuine love she pours into her work make her such a valued and treasured part of our team.
Delia, thank you for the years you have given, the relationships you have built, and the difference you continue to make every single day. We are so lucky to have you. 💫
Here’s to celebrating you and this amazing milestone we can’t wait to see what the years ahead hold! 🌿
Outdoor exploration was in full swing, with children unleashing their potential on the extended bike track, engaging with balls, and transforming the sandpit into a hub of culinary creativity with baking resources, shovels, and rakes, fuelling collaborative adventures 🚲.
We climbed grassy hills and slid back down, discovered insects, spotted piwakawaka, and explored seeds and chestnuts. The tamariki gathered treasures to create their own pretend fire, letting their imaginations lead the way.
I love seeing the children take charge of their play—working together, building friendships, and learning through shared experiences. With Papatūānuku providing the space and resources, there is so much to celebrate.
We finished by sharing our waiata, acknowledging the land and our connection to the atua Māori. A beautiful way to honour where we are and what we have 💚
