Christchurch 15 March 2019
This is a really tough time for New Zealanders and it’s critical our children and young people get the support and care they need as they return to schools and other learning institutions. The events in Christchurch can confuse and frighten anyone who may feel unsafe or worried that their friends or loved-ones are at risk. They will look to others for information, guidance and support.

Secrets from the Wee Nippers Kitchen
At Wee Nippers we are proud of the wonderful meals and snacks that our wonderful cooks Nicola and Lyn create every day for your children. Our Healthy Heart Award certification is just the (very healthy) icing on the (also very healthy) cake! In our newsletters we share the recipes for some of the children's favourites. Read more.
Storypark at Wee Nippers
In October 2015 we launched Storypark online learning portfolios for Wee Nippers Mosgiel. Wee Nippers Invercargill followed in 2017. We will still have our paperbased learning journals. However because of its online format, Storypark makes sharing of information between home and Wee Nippers, parents and whanau and teachers more immediate.
Parents and whanau have special insight into their child’s development and personality and can share valuable information as well as giving teachers feedback on the learning and adventures that their children are experiencing while with us at Wee Nippers.
