About Amber Early Learning Centre
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 Amber Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our family LOVES this Daycare. We have two children who have started in the under 2 room, and moved through to the 2-5 room over the past 4 years and we have been looked after, very well. Our kids are nurtured here, the staff are incredible and very very patient, I feel at ease every time i drop my little ones off. PLUS staff retention is high so you KNOW who is looking after your little ones.”
“Amber is a great centre, although my mum is usually doing the drop offs for my son, so I’m never really in contact with anyone from the daycare however my mum has said a lot of great things about the daycare. And when I have questions Navdeep is always there to help! I also appreciate her honesty :-) the best thing for me about this daycare is my son has now learnt to stand up and try to walk due to this daycare! And my son is always tired when it’s home time, which means my son is having so much fun at daycare! 💕💕 Thank you guys Also another thing is it’s great you guys offer discounts .. keep it up 🫶🏼”
