Are you looking for Childcare?
Hello, my name is Annie Cox
I’m delighted to be part of Village Kids, with Kirstie Van Houtte and the team of other great educators who believe that it takes a Village to raise a child. I am currently studying towards my certificate for Early Childhood Education Level 4.
I live in a fun filled and exciting home in Stoke, where there are wonderful opportunities for walks close by to the estuary, playgrounds to play at and a great cycle way where kids can ride their bikes and scooters very safely.
I am passionate about Early Childhood Education and I offer Home based Education where children can grow in an environment where they can discover new things, make friendships and feel supported as they become independent in new skills .
I have a calm and professional manner and offer young people the opportunity to be themselves as they develop through play, music, outdoor activities, play group outings, books, puzzles, toys, singing and interaction with others, in their growing years .
I provide a home away from home environment and I would love to meet you and your family, give me a call or Txt
I would be delighted to show you around as ‘you consider our place, to be your place’

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
