About Annabel's Educare - Arlington
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 Annabel's Educare - Arlington, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My son loves going here. The staff are amazing and so caring and onto it for all the children's needs. Frequent little events, especially during school holidays and lots of engagement for the kids. Communication is quick and any questions or confusion are addressed quickly.”
“We are so happy we chose Annabel's for our daughter! The teachers are fantastic, so caring and highly engaged with the children. The centre is well-resourced and offers a variety of fun activities. Our daughter is currently transitioning from the nursery to the preschool and the process has been very smooth and flexible with great communication. Highly recommend this centre!”
“Our 1yo recently started at Annabel’s in the Nursery. The Centre is clean, tidy and the Teaching Team is always Welcoming. Our Daughter loves the outdoor area and we enjoy hearing about her daily activities on pick up and via email. Would recommend if your looking a local Daycare/Preschool that puts your child first.”
“We love Annabel’s Educare in Rangiora. The facility is wonderful with plenty of indoor and outdoor play on offer and the staff are approachable, supportive and caring. Communication is also great, whether it be child development, planned excursions or any illnesses to be mindful of. So very pleased we picked Annabel’s as our childcare provider!”
“My now 5 year old spent over 4 years at Annabel’s before recently starting school, she loved her time there she had great bonds with her teachers and peers. My 1 year old is still in the nursery and he loves his teachers they have great ratios and form a close bond with their key teacher. We have been very happy with Annabel’s and the staff! The new centre manager is doing a great job and is supported by a great team of teachers.”
