Supporting our families and educators during COVID-19

If you’re an essential services worker and are unable to access childcare to perform your essential service, Home Grown Kids has been contracted to provide in-home care to children aged 0-14 years. Spaces are limited due to high demand. 

Please be prepared by having a copy of your confirmation letter or other ID ready to be emailed though at the time of enquiry.

Workers that qualify will not be charged for this service but must meet certain criteria.
