Celeste, home-based educator in Raglan, with family

Celeste

Hi I'm Celeste

I’m a mum based in Raglan, offering a calm, nurturing in-home childcare. Our home is relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of space for play, creativity and quiet time.

Family is at the heart of everything I do. I have two children, Casmir (11) and Donnie (9), and my partner Jasper, who you might see around from time to time. We also have Miso, our friendly golden retriever, and Lavender the cat.

I have a background in hospitality and also hold a degree in fine arts, which both influence the way I care for children. I love cooking, spending time in the garden, and creating an environment where creativity and curiosity are encouraged.

Having my own children, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your little one. My approach is gentle and responsive, especially with younger children, making sure they feel secure, settled and supported throughout the day.

Living in Raglan, we embrace a slower pace of life, with plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and opportunities to connect with nature. I keep numbers small so each child receives plenty of attention and care, and feels comfortable, happy and part of our little family.
