Donna Matthews

Rangiora

Hi, my name is Donna & I’ve been providing quality home-based care in my home for over 22 years. I am very passionate about Early childhood care and the benefits to providing a small, intimate environment for under 5’s. 

I am a mum to 2 adult children and 2 British shorthair cats! I have a large, safe backyard for children to enhance their gross motor skills and be creative explorers! We love to get out in the community and visit the library, attend story times and playgroups. I provide lots of experiences by visiting the library, beach and nature walks, and of course... playgrounds!

I provide a safe and happy home environment, which is similar to the child’s home. I believe in peers working alongside and playing alongside each other, which promotes social competence & independence which are necessary skills in preparation for school. We absolutely love baking and nurturing the vegetable garden is a wee team effort.

I have a level 4 certificate in Early Childhood Practice and hold a current First Aid Certificate. I also continue to learn through Professional Development. 

For more information or to arrange a visit, please get in touch. I’d love to chat further.
