Policy Management for NZ ECE Centres

Policy management for early childhood centres

Policybase for NZ ECE centres: meet licensing requirements, engage whanau, and manage policies without the admin overhead.

For ECE centres

ECE centres have specific policy requirements driven by licensing regulations, the Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations, and the needs of tamariki and their whanau. Policybase tracks these requirements and makes compliance straightforward.

Licensing compliance

ECE centres need specific policies to keep their licence. Policybase tracks which policies are required, flags anything that’s out of date, and alerts you when regulation changes may affect your compliance.

Whanau engagement

In ECE, whanau involvement in governance matters. The consultation portal makes it easy to share policies with parents and caregivers, collect feedback, and document community involvement.

Simple enough for small teams

ECE centres run with small teams and limited admin time. Policybase is built to be easy to pick up without training. You shouldn’t need technical skills or hours of training to manage policies.

Staff onboarding

ECE has higher staff turnover than other education sectors. Onboarding tools make sure every new team member is across key policies from their first day.

Pricing

Policybase is half price during beta ($250/yr + GST until end of 2026). After that, $500/year + GST — same price regardless of how many sites you have. AI features are an optional paid add-on. View pricing
