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 - New Brighton, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We are absolutely thrilled to have our son attending Annabel’s New Brighton. The teachers are super supportive and nurturing. Our son was very shy and struggled with separation from my husband and I. With support from the amazing teachers, he has settled in and feels quietly confident and safe in a fun and supportive environment. We can not recommend Annabel’s enough. Wonderful communication, fun and exciting activities and truly the most wonderful staff!”
“My Grandson goes to Annabel’s and he loves it. As a grandparent I love the way this centre is like a big family. They spend alot of time interacting with the children and lots of different activities. The staff are lovely and always welcome you when you enter the centre for drop off or pick up.”
“Our child has been going here since nursery age and is now with the bigger children in preschool, so almost 3years. The teachers are wonderful with all the children and babies. The teachers are also great as a team, working together everyday! They welcome all cultures into the centre and celebrate different cultural days (Chinese New year, Diwali etc), with activities setup for day to day learning. And on the daily teach the children maori words too. We're always kept up to date on how our child is going on day to day interactions and learning. We cannot praise the team at Annabel's enough, they do great work!!”
