OUR VALUES

Relationship -
Whanaungatanga

We value the relationships we have with our customers and partners which includes: tamariki (children) and their whanau, kiako (teachers) and leadership, as well as our subcontractor’s and other partners.
We know that having builders on site can be exciting and interesting for tamariki and our site team members are encouraged to interact with tamariki and preschool community members positively while working.
We have strong relationships with our business partners who all put their heart into the work we create together.
We recognise that our most successful projects are the ones where there is a trusting working relationship between us and our customer and we work hard to build and retain these relationships.

We are passionate about the natural world and the wonder that nature offers.
We carefully select materials that are environmentally sustainable, safe and non toxic, while also considering their longevity, and we prefer not treated timbers and use these where possible.
Bringing a sense of beauty, harmony, and flow to all environments we create
Fostering a positive connection with nature. E.g. edible plants throughout the play spaces.

We constantly prioritise high quality craftsmanship.
We understand that the integrity of our work is important and this is reflected in the work we do and the materials, fasteners and other elements that are selected for their lifespan and longevity as well as their sustainability.
We are committed to quality and unique designs
The Nature Flow team has a wealth of experience in the construction, early childhood and other education sectors, and Jared is certified as an operational play inspector and is a member of the registrar of play inspectors international. Our playscapes, building and landscaping work is constructed with reference to NZ5828, NZ3604 where required.
We are members of site safe and always plan our work to ensure the safety on site is well established and that work is carried out safely and efficiency.

We are passionate about play and the amazing learning that occurs for tamariki as they play. Our learning spaces that we develop include a wide range of high value play elements that provide an endless variety of opportunities for children to explore, interact, challenge and create.
