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 Childhood Concepts Goodshed Rd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Both of our boys attended Childhood Concepts. Our youngest has just left for school. I cannot give enough praise. It is very hard to say goodbye. The staff feel like family, they have held our family through some tough times. As well as cheering us on in the good. They learnt so much, and felt safe and secure. 12/10 would recommend!”
“Our children attended Childhood Concepts, Upper Hutt: After six wonderful years, we're so sad to say goodbye to what has been more than just a daycare – it's been an extended family for our children. The staff are exceptional; their genuine engagement and profound care for our kids have consistently gone above and beyond. We've always valued their clear and consistent communication, and the truly amazing opportunities and learning experiences they've provided have been instrumental in our children's development. They've shown a remarkable ability to cater to the individual needs and interests of both our kids, setting them up brilliantly for their transition to school. We can't recommend them highly enough and will cherish the memories and the strong foundations they've built for our children.”
“All three of my kids attended Childhood Concepts in Upper Hutt, and they absolutely loved it. The teachers and support staff were fantastic—caring, supportive, and truly dedicated. When my youngest finished, I looked back through all the learning stories written by the teachers, and they were an absolute joy to read. It was clear just how much care, effort, and passion they put into nurturing each child’s development.”
“Our son spent 3 years at Childhood Concepts Upper Hutt. He loved his time there. The teachers are wonderful, kind and caring. We highly recommend this daycare!”
