Our Vision
...at Lilliput Nest is to create a nurturing and empowering environment where tamariki and whānau thrive together. We aspire to be a leading in-home childcare provider that fosters curiosity, creativity, and confidence in tamariki while inspiring whānau to embrace entrepreneurial opportunities within our supportive community. Guided by the principles of Te Whāriki, we aim to weave a legacy of lifelong learning, meaningful relationships, and sustainable growth for families and educators alike.
Families
When you enroll as a family with Lilliput Nest, we make a commitment to journey alongside you, providing your child with the love and care they need to thrive. For us, early childhood begins with nurturing and grows into meaningful education. We believe that no significant learning can happen without a strong, caring relationship at the heart of it. Here at Lilliput Nest, your chosen educator, nanny or au pair becomes your child’s trusted confidant—their “go to” in times of triumph and challenge—someone who cherishes them as you do, and an extension of your own family.
Educators, Nanny & Au Pairs
When you join our family at Lilliput Nest, we make a commitment to support you in creating high-quality home-based early learning experiences in our community. We recognize that you may have been working in the early childhood sector already—perhaps as a qualified teacher—or you could be a parent seeking a career that fits around your family life. Regardless of your background, we value the experience, skills, and dedication you bring. Our goal is to empower you so that, together, we can fulfill our mission of nurturing our tiniest citizens.
