Ages of children: Licensed to care for children from infancy
Group / Centre Size: A group size of no more than 4 children, with one educator. Small group size is important for children's learning and emotional well-being.
Qualified teaching staff: Home educators and carers are not recognised for a practising certificate as teachers by the Teaching Council. But educators may hold a recognised qualification - you will need to personally ask your child's home educator
Shows Children that Men Can Teach and Care for Young Children Too: In 2019 the teaching team was, known to have been usually or all of the time, women only. (Note that it is best to have gender balance with children being taught and cared for by both men and women. In Home-based ECE this criterion relates to visiting teachers only)
Highly Parent Rated: THIS SERVICE CANNOT YET BE CLASSIFIED AS A HIGHLY RATED SERVICE. (To be so it needs to have a number of recent positive reviews - at least 5 positive if a small centre, or 10 if a mega-centre or a home-based service)

Additional Information:

The company operates in excess of 10 licensed services in NZ under the Kids at Home and the Home Grown Kids brands.

The Education Office reviews different networks at different times, so parents are advised to check the ERO report of the Home Grown Kids network in their specific area. 

Please note that in 2019, three licensed services in Wellington only were placed on a provisional licence by the Ministry of Education for failing to adequately meet minimum regulations.
