Kia ora,
The Ministry of Education is releasing the Education (Early Childhood Services) Amendment Regulations 2025 for consultation.
These amendment regulations will provide the Director of Regulation (a new statutory role) with a new set of graduated enforcement tools and public notification provision and will lift the threshold for licence suspensions and cancellations. These changes will ensure a more proportionate approach to enforcing compliance.
During consultation, we are seeking feedback on whether the amendment regulations are clear and easy to understand and what impact they may have on different stakeholders.
We’d like to hear from the early learning sector, whānau, caregivers, and others who care about the tamariki, children and mokopuna of Aotearoa New Zealand.
You’ll be able to provide as much or as little feedback as you choose when submitting your response.
