What this site is

Daycare Near Me is an independent directory of New Zealand licensed early childhood education services. It is not affiliated with the Ministry of Education, the Education Review Office or any centre operator.

Accuracy

We surface data from public sources and link every claim back to its origin. The MoE ECE Directory and ERO reports change over time; while we refresh data on a regular cadence (see methodology), there can be a lag between the source updating and our copy refreshing.

If you spot a factual issue please tell us via the contact form.

Not professional advice

Content on this site, including the FamilyBoost calculator, is general information only and is not personal financial, legal, tax or childcare advice. For your own situation seek qualified advice and consult the official IRD / MSD guidance.

API + data use

The free public endpoints (/api/centre/{slug}/facts.json, /api/centre/{slug}/markdown.md, /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt) are provided for personal and AI-citation use. For bulk, commercial or systematic redistribution please get in touch via the contact form.

Source data licences

Underlying NZ government data we expose is licensed under CC-BY 4.0 (data.govt.nz) and Crown copyright (ERO). Re-users should attribute the original source as well as daycarenearme.co.nz where data has been enriched or joined.
