A Kidz World

A Kidz World Homebased Childcare and Education service is a Ministry of Education approved and Chartered Homebased Early Childhood Care & Education Service.  We provide high quality, affordable care and education from 0 – 5 years, and also before & after school care, in the homes of carefully selected & trained Educators.    

Homebased childcare provides an alternative to centre based care.  The unique attributes of homebased care are small ratios, (a maximum of four children under the age of six can be cared for at any one time, and only two of these can be under the age of two years old); this allows Educators to build good relationships with each child.  Homebased childcare not only offers you the flexibility with the hours you require care, but your child will also experience the benefit by being able to enjoy outings within our local community such as visiting the library, parks, playgroups, music & movement and the beach etc, while still experiencing life in a caring home environment where they receive the individual attention that they deserve. 

Our trained Educators with the assistance of our three Registered Early Childhood Teachers develop an individual play programme for your child using Te Whāriki, the NZ Early Childhood Curriculum to help children grow up as competent, confident learners and communicators.  Our Educators are provided with ongoing professional development as well as Kidz World providing age appropriate resources, activities & equipment to enhance your child’s learning and development.

We have just had our first Education Review Office Report and it was very positive.  This can be viewed on ERO’s website @ www.ero.govt.nz.
