The Ministry for Regulation has led the review, working with the Ministry of Education and the Education Review Office (ERO).

The review has assessed whether the current set of regulations are achieving the right outcomes for early childhood education (ECE), and has examined the regulatory systems for education, health, safety, child protection, food safety, buildings, and workplaces as they apply to the ECE sector.

Regulation Minister David Seymour has accepted all recommendations of the report and will progress these to Cabinet in 2025. Current regulatory settings for ECE providers remain in place while the report is under consideration.
