Childcare needed
Hi neighbours,
I'm currently looking at putting my 3 year old son into in-home childcare around our area.
He started at KidsPace in pakuranga in January as I was starting part time work. I noticed a list of negatives to begin with but was too late to try and put him in to another centre at the time and thought things would resolve. Today I witnessed a complaints book, and it looks as though I am not the only parent noticing all of these issues.
I feel the child to teacher ratio is far too big of a gap for my child to have 1 on 1 time.
This centre is 30 free hours which is what sold me. I need somebody reliable, flexible and affordable. Somebody local to Sunnyhills or surrounding suburbs.
If you are somebody willing to place him In your care from 8.30am to 2.30/3.30pm or know anybody who could possibly fit him in, please call or text me on 02102889448 for more details.
Thank you
Ariana
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
