Nannies Plus: a home-based Early Childhood Service.
We are a licenced Early Childhood provider operating under the Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008. Nannies Plus was begun in 2006 with the company name 'Wellington Nannies Support Service Ltd'.
Our goal, for each enrolled child, is to empower their learning and development through the provision of a high quality education programme within the home environment.
55 Abel Smith Street, Wellington where we share office space with Wellington Nannies College.
Nannies Plus recognises that a child’s parents and home are the most important factor in their well-being and development. We respect the family and endeavour to work within the family values and culture, providing support for the parents and education for the child. Flexibility is regarded highly as the nanny-educator provides for the child in their home, takes them into the community, and joins in with other early childhood services.
We focus on the uniqueness of each child and their interests, strengths and capabilities. We encourage a love for living, exploring and creating in a positive environment that fosters confidence. We empower each child’s learning and development within the home environment and the local community through supporting their nanny educators.
The Director is Paulene Gibbons, who is also a Visiting Teacher and the Provider Contact Person. Yvonne Guy, director of the Nannies College, works full time at the office sharing her time between Nannies Plus and the Wellington Nannies College in management roles.
The three Visiting Teachers are Robynn Kopua, Louise Turnbull and Anna Williams.
Marika Trotter is our Office Coordinator and works until 3.30 Monday to Thursday.

Nannies Plus operates on a 24-hour basis, as we know nannies are often called on to work long hours. The office is open between 8.30am and 4.30pm and outside of those hours the Nannies Plus cell phone (027 728 4019) can be rung for emergencies.
Over Christmas the service is likely to shut down.
Nannies Plus ECE service was created with the purpose of providing a continuation of the relationships between the nanny college, WNC families and WNC graduates. It is an extension and continuation of the support provided by Wellington Nannies College with the aim of consolidating and extending the learning of the nanny.
