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 Cherry Grove @ 101, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We love Cherry Grove!! We have two children enrolled at the centre, one in The Nursery and one in the Pre Kindy room. The teachers are so caring and go above and beyond to meet the individual needs of our children. The nursery space is calm and so spacious for our little explorer to settle into a routine away from home. The Pre - Kindy room is always full of activities and outdoor play is a given with the huge area outside with endless opportunities. We are so thankful for Cherry Grove being part of our village over the past year. Thank You 🙏”
“Cherry Grove Family centre is such an amazing resource. The staff are amazing, facility is beautiful and coffee and cake are always available. Brings me and my daughter joy every time we go. Do yourself a favour and come along!”
“Our daughter started in the nursery at 9 months old and has recently moved to the Budlets Classroom. The teachers are fantastic and really care about your children, there is lots of outdoor space and activity for toddlers to burn off extra energy, and I love that everything is so clean. Would highly recommend.”
“We have had 4 of our 5 boys go through Cherry Grove since they opened. Our youngest is currently in the baby room and moving into Budlets. During our time there the staff have always been so kind and caring towards our children. They have tailored the learning to suit our boys likes and interests, provided fun opportunities for learning and I have found their communication to be consistent and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Cherry Grove to other local families🧡”
“Cherry Grove has provided our two sons with a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment. The outdoor areas are large and provide plenty of room for kids to play and explore. The indoor spaces are inviting and provide lots of interest. However, it is the teachers that have really impressed us. They work hard to get to know and understand individual students. They provide a safe and happy environment with structure and routine as appropriate for young ones. They provide lots of opportunities and activities for creativity and learning and are fully engaged with what the kids are doing. Another highlight for our boys has been the ‘Playball’ sessions with Coach Tom. Cherry Grove is a lovely place for children to be.”
