ECE Policy Package

• Not sure if your policies still meet licensing criteria?

• Avoid policy gaps before your next review 

• Typical policy packages can cost over $1000.

These tried-and-tested policies, procedures and forms have been updated to reflect Ministry of Education changes taking effect from April 2026 and are currently being used in New Zealand ECE centres that have passed MoE and ERO review.  Written by Leisa Rossi, an experienced ECE owner/operator whose documentation has successfully met Ministry of Education and ERO review requirements multiple times.

Creating or updating policies can take 10–20 hours of manager time per policy. This package is designed to save you that time — without compromising compliance.

This ECE Policy Package provides everything required to meet minimum NZ ECE Licensing Criteria, with no bloated extras, no unnecessary policies, and no ongoing subscription traps.

Unlike packages priced at $899–$1,200, this is a lean, practical set of policies and forms focused on what centres actually need — not 200+ optional documents.

What’s included

• Our Documentation Quick Guide so you can quickly check the documentation you are required to have in place.

• Full access to the critical policies and procedures required to meet minimum licensing requirements.

• Essential compliance forms you need to support those policies.

• Editable templates, ready to brand and adapt to your service.

• Ongoing access for 12 months from your original purchase (so you can re-download if needed).

Important note

This package does not include an Emergency Management Plan template.
The Ministry of Education provides an approved Emergency Management Plan template free of charge, and we encourage services to use that official version.

This package does not include general Human Resource Management (HRM) processes and templates. MoE is not prescriptive on documentation required for HRM. If needed we have a separate package available for HRM.

This package does include Safety Checking Procedures and Safety Check Records forms.
