FOREWORD

Kia ora koutou,

 

For those of you who follow rugby and rugby league (and even for those of us who don’t always) what wonderful leadership shown by the Black Ferns for our girls and young women, and how to celebrate good sports by our Samoan communities.

 

Heoi anō tāku mō nāianei,

Information about the network approval application process is now available

As previously advised, new network management requirements begin in February next year. 

 

From 1 February 2023, anyone wanting to establish a licensed early childhood service will first need to apply for and be granted ‘network approval’. 

 

These new requirements are designed to ensure licensed early childhood services in Aotearoa New Zealand are part of a planned and diverse network that is sustainable and meets the needs of communities. 

 

The Minister of Education has now issued a National Statement on the Network of Licensed Early Childhood Services, which provides potential applicants for approval with information about the network of licensed early childhood services including:

  • the Government’s strategic priorities for the establishment of licensed early childhood services
  • information about the supply, forecast growth, demand, and need for licensed early childhood services; and
  • other information relevant to applications for approval, including about the approach the Minister intends to take to assessing that information in accordance with the statutory criteria.

Comprehensive information about network management, including the application process to seek network approval, and the National Statement, are available on our website. The website also provides a fact sheet you can download and distribute if required, in a range of languages. 

 

Network management and application process – Ministry of Education 

 

If you have questions about the application process or want to clarify the requirements, we will be hosting two online hui:

 

Monday 5 December, 5–6pm

Tuesday 17 January 2023, 5–6pm
