Child Care Spaces Available
Hi everyone. I'm a homebased childcare educator. I have one full-time and a part-time space available for an under 6 year old not enrolled at school. I have been a care educator for 10 years and live in Sunnynook and regularly attend playgroups, go to mainly music, the library, parks, playgrounds, beaches but at the moment with covid19 we are staying home. I do have a lot of indoor and outdoor toys available and do fun activites with teh kids everyday so doesn't matter that we are not heading out much at the moment. I love to do arts and crafts and science experiments with the kids. The smaller child-educator ratio allows better quality care and less bugs spreading. You can claim subsidies from WINZ and for the ECE 20h hours for 3 & 4 year olds. Hourly rate is $7. if you are interested send me a message. Grab the space before it is gone!
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
