About Education & Care Service
Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.
What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?
20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at Active Explorers Greenmeadows, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Team AEG is amazing, our baby started there in the kowhai room and is nearly ready to graduate to school next year! nappies and kai are provided, Teresa in the kitchen is amazing 👏 storypark and comms from the team are great too, they do fun arts and crafts, and also have cool school holiday programmes. They have great outdoor play areas, and are good at going outside in all sorts of weather too!!”
“Lovely staff, always quick to communicate and keep you informed. Great to know that our daughter is having nutritious food and everything is taken care of, only need to pack her clothes! Parking can be difficult at busy times and to exit the car park has frustrating visibility. The extended hours are a great draw too”
“We looked at every possible centre to find the best match for our little girl and have been absolutely delighted with Active explorers since day one . Their staff and dedication to the wellbeing of the children in their care is outstanding and they are always willing to make sure there’s no disruption to your child’s routine between being at the centre and being at home 10/10 would recommend”
“The best daycare so far. My 2 year old went to two other places before this one and even tho it’s more expensive. It’s worth the money. The staff are very good with the kids. Never had any issues. My child enjoyed the 2 year old room and when I moved place due to turning 3 she wanted to go back there. As far as supervision goes it was a 10/10 in her room. Not sure about the 3 -4 year old room as It’s alot bigger so from what I saw adult supervision wasn’t that good and alot more kids which is why we left but it’s like that everywhere- alot of kids. Great staff, very friendly and cater to your needs 10/10. Also never saw any badly behaved kids. They were all well behaved. Better than previous daycares.”
“Our wee girl just loves it! We have seen her progress over the last couple of years and it is amazing and a pleasure to see her with her friends and caregivers. A fantastic whanau environment that your kiddies will enjoy. Thanks to all the Staff at Active Explorers…..You Rock!!”
