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?

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 Blossoms Educare Takanini, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Blossoms Takanini is such a lovely little education centre for the little ones. From our very first interaction over the phone, to in person, & now day to day, has been a very positive and welcoming experience. Marla and Doreen are amazing and always helping us / catering to our little one and our family work schedule. Our daughter loves her daycare. She gets excited when we pull into the parking lot. The teachers in her room are EXCELLENT. So very loving, so passionate, so positive, so supportive... The kids are all so loved here. We have been doing our transition sessions recently for our little and have been so impressed with how her teachers care for her amongst the other littles. Awesome centre. Needs more recent positive reviews and feedback 🩷 all the teachers from every class that we’ve met so far have been fantastic. Stellar teachers. The happy faces of the children and parents at drop off and pick up really help to reflect the values and spirit of this centre. I am so glad and thankful that my daughter is happy, safe, and learning/growing here. Thank you blossoms staff for your amazing work !”

“Blossoms Childcare Centre Takanini is incredible From the Management, to all the Teachers, and support staff They really work on making the centre a safe, secure, and fun place for our children If I do happen to have any questions or concerns, the teachers are also very approachable and helpful They take the time to communicate with parents Also some of the senior teachers have many years of childcare training and experience under their belts, and this experience and knowledge is a very key part of this centre. If anyone knows children it’s them The teachers can look at a situation, assess it rapidly from their training and experience, and sort it out quickly What incredible childcare skills to have There is an amazing bunch of people working at this centre, and I’m so glad I found them”

“Saw this company van driving on the motorway 29/05/2023 1:30pm. Very reckless driver, cutting people off, speeding to cut off people trying to change lanes. I hope this is not the person dropping children to and from home.”

“I am a satisfied mom because my two daughters who go to this Daycare are always happy and excited to come to school. It shows that they enjoy their stay here. The teachers are going beyond looking after my daughters. They don’t only make sure that they are clean and well fed but they treat them like their own kids. I can’t thank you enough for loving my daughters. My heart is full! I like the set up of the room. They have arts and crafts area, music, math, mini library and kitchen. And I adore the outdoor area the most! They have a beautiful playground under two big trees which give shade. It has a sand pit, water play and many more that kids can explore.”

“Seemed like way to many children to teacher ratio. Teachers looked lost as to what to d. Lack of communication. Teachers had trouble in controlling the kids.”
