Gingerbread Cottage Ltd 2.95

Gingerbread Cottage acknowledges the importance a parent places on the well being of their child whilst in the care of another person. We acknowledge that your child is precious and for this reason we hold very high standards in the quality of childcare and nanny service that we provide.
We have Educators and Nannies in the Waikato and surrounding areas that meet the needs of many families and feel sure that we too can provide you with a quality care option that will work for you and your family.

Philosophy
We focus on developing warm, reciprocal relationships, ngā hononga, with all who join us; tamariki/whānau, Educators and staff. We believe that respectful relationships will foster a sense of belonging for all, and will enable us to be responsive to parent and whānau, with aspirations and expectations.

Play is seen as a valuable way for tamariki to learn. Our dedicated Educators therefore provide safe, nurturing and stimulating learning environments where tamariki are encouraged to play and explore in their own way and time, whakamana. Our homes, playgroups and excursions provide holistic learning, kotahitanga, opportunities for tamariki so that they can explore and socialise with others.

At Gingerbread Cottage we value and celebrate the culture, strengths and interests of each tamaiti, while promoting the bicultural heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand. Our ultimate aim is to affirm the individuality of each tamaiti so that they will continue to be competent, confident and contributing members of the community, whanau tangata.

Vision
The uniqueness of each tamaiti will be nurtured and celebrated so that they remain confident and competent individuals who will continue to make unique and valuable contributions to their communities.


Whakatauki
He whānau kotahi tatou, ā ahakoa he iti he pounamu – We are one family, where each member is precious and valued.
