The list below of services and regulation breaches is not complete – you will see that it is a draft, and more details are to be added. Let us know if your service has had a change of licence and why. Services that have continued to be on a downgraded licence from last year are included as its relevant for parents to know should their service be on a downgraded licence.
Between 1 Jan 2022 and … (these figures are provisional as of August and may increase before the end of the year):
– 124 services were on a provisional licence (1 centre came off a provisional licence only to be on another one later in the year)
– 24 services were under suspension
These are only the services that have been brought to the Ministry of Education’s attention and for which it has chosen to take a licensing action against. Did you know that:
- 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 further mandatory checks)
- 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?
- 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?
- 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.
