Important information for Educators.
Kuddles is a member of the New Zealand HomeBase Childcare Association. We can guide you with how you can also be a member of the association.
Our educator selection process involves adhering to the Licensing Criteria and we do a thorough check of all educator homes to ensure that it is safe for the child in care.
We do Police vetting of all our Educators and all adults in the house over the age of 17. This is followed by Reference Checks. You can find out more about Police vetting here and about laws relating to children’s rights and safety here.
As an Educator with Kuddles, you contract yourself to us to provide childcare from your own home.
