Summer, home-based educator in Whakamaru

Summer

Hi, I’m Summer, a 29-year-old mum of four, and I provide warm, nurturing home-based childcare in a peaceful country setting in Arataki/Whakamaru

As a mum myself, I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while away from home. I’m passionate about creating a relaxed environment where children can learn through play, build confidence, and enjoy meaningful one-on-one attention.

Our days include plenty of outdoor play, crafts, stories, music, imaginative play, and fun hands-on activities. We’re also lucky to have friendly chickens and a bunny, which the children love interacting with and helping care for 🐓🐰

I believe children thrive in a calm, home-like setting where they can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace while families feel welcomed and supported.

I look forward to welcoming your little one into our home-away-from-home 💛
