ECE Services that Breached Minimum Licensing Standards in 2021

Search Entire Website
regulation breaches compliance requirements standard

Shown below are the names of early childhood services on a provisional or suspended licence at any time in 2021 due to licence breaches. Services whose licence was cancelled (voluntarily or compulsorily) as a result of noncompliance with the regulations and licensing criteria are also named below. Unfortunately, this may be the tip of the iceberg as these are services that have been brought to the Ministry of Education’s attention, for example as a result of a complaint, a serious incident involving a child, or a notification from the Education Review Office when it does a 3 or 4 yearly report on a service.

223 early childhood services were on a provisional licence, placed on suspension or closed permanently because they breached minimum legal standards.
– 202 services on a provisional licence (205 provisional licences as 3 services came off a provisional licence only to be put on one again later in the year)
– 36 services under suspension (37 suspended licences as 1 service came off a suspended licence only to be put on one again later in the year)
– 22 services had their licences cancelled following failure to meet licensing conditions
and were permanently closed.

Did you know that:

  1. Vehicles more than a couple of years old need a new warrant of fitness every year to ensure they meet required safety standards, but once an early childhood service is licensed it is good to go for a lifetime while under the same owner. (There are no more mandatory checks)
  2. The Ministry of Education waits until an incident occurs that results in a child or children being immediately hospitalised, or serious problems are brought to its attention before it considers whether to check ECE service compliance?
  3. The Ministry typically gives the service provider the heads-up on complaints and when it plans to visit to discuss the complaint or carry out a licence check?
  4. The Ministry of Education can choose not to take a licensing action against a service for licence breaches?
    • Its decision-making is subjective.
    • The Ministry may tell complainants that service’s licence will not be downgraded even though serious breaches were identified because “I am now satisfied that the service has responded to the concerns raised”. Thus, the fact that a service had serious licence breaches is able to be kept hidden as it was never put onto formal report by having its licence downgraded.

Licensing information is public information. Every ECE service must prominently display its licence and any conditions placed on it. Fortunately, most ECE service providers also support transparency and understand they are accountable to parents and the public. They welcome conversations about how they are working to improve and will appreciate your feedback and support.
