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 Child's Time Penrose, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“The best Daycare I would recommend anyone looking forward to enrolling their kids. My son Sam attended it for about a year and a half and we as parents are proud to see his growth and confidence. All the credit goes to CT team that has played a viral role in Sam's learning and taken really good care of him including Ruhee, Sarah, Siddhi, Brittany, Natalie, Rosie and the list includes many more teachers. For us, it was like Sam's second home and we are so happy that he attended CT for initial days of his childhood that is going to have an amazing impact on his ongoing journey. Thanks everyone and would love to recommend it every single time!Miss you guys ❤️”
“Having visited several centers, we are delighted to have found the perfect fit at child'sTime. It has proven to be a wonderful place for my daughter. The teachers are so caring, the environment is safe, and we have observed significant growth and happiness each day. We could not have asked for better care! I would highly recommend it.”
“Highly recommended childcare in Penrose- ellerslie- Mount Wellington area. My son was there for 6 months now. We just loved it . Child’s time is his second home. The teachers and all staffs and their approach to the kids and the family is just awesome. Thanks to everyone for the best part of my son’s journey. Shout out to Child’s time for your hard work and all the best ♥️♥️♥️”
“Child’s Time is an amazing daycare. My son has been there for nearly 2 years and has absolutely thrived! All his teachers right through to centre management continually support and encourage all of my sons needs and learning. All staff make a huge effort to keep rooms and the centre clean, tidy and organised. Outdoor play areas are built into the middle and the back of the centre so you can ensure the privacy and safety of your child. Can’t recommend Child’s Time enough!”
“Amazing child care, my son started his day care journey when he was 7 month old but I was not happy with the care taken at previous daycare so when my son was 2.5 year old, I changed his day care and started going at child's time. I always think it would be really amazing if I would have started my son's daycare journey from child's time and not with another day care. Amazing teachers, friendly environment. I do not have enough words to describe how much safe my son feel here.”
