This comparison table for the updated centre-based licensing criteria slipped onto the MoE page as changes went live in April.

It might be old news now - but I thought we might as well share in case someone finds it useful :) https://www.education.govt.nz/education-professionals/early-learning/licensing-and-certification/licensing-criteria-for-centre-based-ece-services

Hiya, it's Nicola from Clasp here 😀

We're thinking about building an alternative to Twillio's SMS messaging into Clasp - and I'm trying to work out whether it's worth the effort.

So:

1. Have you inquired about sending individual (or bulk) SMS to parents/staff from another software, before?

2. If yes - how many SMS would you (approximately) send each week, do you think?

3. Why did or didn't you go ahead with setting it up?

Any and all insights are greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time!

Wenbert and I had a relaxing / recovery-style end of the year, and we're looking forward to releasing some exciting (and affordable) communication options for ECE centres this year! 📲

We both wish you Happy Holidays and a wonderful start to your 2026!

Thankfully, at least, the frequency of checks on sleeping children has been left unchanged. Regulations will be administered by the newly established Director of Regulation.
