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.

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 Cambridge E L Centre \The Castle\"", it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We have our two boys attending Cambridge Early Learning Centre, and we couldn't be happier with the care they receive. The teachers are exceptional, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for our children. Both of our boys absolutely love it there, and we see their growth and development every day. The staff's dedication and warmth make it a wonderful place for our kids. We only have positive things to say about this fantastic daycare and highly recommend it to other parents!”
