Community Ownership: Parents likely have a strong say in how the service operates and what happens to children, all money earnt stays within it, and teachers may be paid better and childcare charges may be lower compared to most (but not necessarily all) private and corporate owned services. (Ask: Is it an Incorporated Society? Does it also have charitable status?)
Small Boutique Centre: Centres with 50 or fewer children make it easier for staff to provide a warm and nurturing environment, for children to have their individual needs met and skills, knowledge, and competencies extended. (Ask: For continuity of care and relationships, do children stay with the same group of children and teachers throughout their time at the service?)
100% Qualified Teacher Funded: All staff counted toward meeting the minimum adult-child ratio requirement must hold a practising certificate as a teacher if the service receives this level of Ministry of Education funding. (Ask: Does the service count teachers trained in the ECE of children birth to 5 years and not primary or secondary school trained teachers?)
Men Included on Teaching Staff (as at last year): There are strong benefits of having both men and women on the teaching team for the quality of care and education a service provides to children. Additionally, gender bias in staff recruitment and employment is not generally acceptable in society today. (Ask: How many teaching staff are employed and what proportion are men?)
(as at last year):
Clean Licence Record (last year and the year before): To be licensed a service must comply with regulations that help ensure children’s safety, care, and a suitable standard of education. When requirements are breached the Ministry of Education may downgrade a service’s licence to provisional or issue a suspension. (Check the lists of services placed on a provisional or suspended licence https://oece.nz/public/information/standards/ published each year)
(last year and year before):
Recommended Highly by 80% or More Families: At least 80% of families recommend the service and rate it as being very good to excellent on a range of aspects of quality. (Note that a response rate of at least 51% families on the OECE parent survey https://oece.nz/public/information/resources/parent-survey/ research instrument within the last three years is necessary here)

Welcoming environment and great communication between staff and parents. Safe and secure environment for tamariki to play and engage with one another. Excellent programme and planning in place for our children learning and development
This Home-based Childcare is very well resourced and the learning for children is very meaningful. My child has been attending this home-based for 3 years and I am very happy with the Educator providing care for my child. The resources are always based on my Childs interest and the planning done by Educator and Coordinator is well organized. we always participate in Playgroups and the Service Provider has the vision of providing quality care and education for children which is evident in my child’s educators home- lots of resources, My Childs portfolio has lots of learning stories, new activities and this Home-based is licensed by Ministry of education. Qualified educator and qualified coordinator. Very happy that this is a multicultural Home-based Childcare. Thank you
Glorious Kids homebased has helped my son so much, he has learnt a lot in a short period of time and each day he is thriving. My educator supports not only my sons learning and development but ensures that we as parents are involved and engaged in his learning. All round great service 🙂
