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 Childspace Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I’ve seen a huge change in my son who is not a social butterfly by any means. Fraser and the team have cultivated, nourished and built so much confidence in him that he is doing so well with making friends now in primary school! Childspace is the perfect daycare for any child from any cultural background round. They have a variety of teachers who are able to meet their needs and they’re very caring. Fraser has been open to my thoughts and feelings for my son’s development and has also provided valuable feedback back which I appreciate. 10 star service! Thank you so much Fraser and team!”

“Childspace was the best decision I have ever made. My son was able to spend 3 years in the most loving and nurturing environment where he was so over prepared for school that he now flourishes in his "big boy" school. Claire, Fraser and every teacher there have created the most wonderful loving environment for my son and he was so sad to leave. To this day still wishes to go back. I cant thank them enough for making his time so special. Would recommend to any and all looking for the best childcare option in the area.”

“Claire and Fraser and all the team at Childspace run the best daycare that we’ve ever come across. We should know - we have 5 kids! This is such a homely, friendly and caring place for our children. The team there are always kind and loving to our two little kids, and considering how cheeky they can be, that is a miracle. If you want to put your children in an environment where they will look out for each other (children often help others at pick up), make friends (waving and excited to see everyone coming at drop off), and learning at just the right pace, then please get in touch with them. Childspace is just amazing, we knew they were the one for us, the moment we first walked in the door.”

“My daughter has been going to Childspace for two years and we have been so happy with it. The teachers are amazing, nurturing and so friendly. Our daughter often comes home wanting to show or teach us something that she learnt at Childspace that day and it gives us the confidence that she is going to be well prepared for starting school next year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Childspace to anyone looking for quality daycare.”

“It was a big step finding a childcare centre for our daughter, we wanted somewhere friendly and caring but also somewhere that could get her ready for school. Childspace gas been amazing from she was 2 right thru to 5. The staff made her feel really welcome and comfortable while she was settling, and have been amazing educators since. By the time she was school-aged our daughter had made lasting friendships, had the skills required, and was comfortable in a class environment. Childspace played a key role in this development in their care. I would highly recommend them to friends and family.”
