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 Christopher and Robin Early Childhood Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Our eldest child has recently graduated from C&R after being there for 4 years . We cant applaud them enough for the awhi and support they have shown her. It reflects tremendously now that she is thriving at school. The environment at C&R is so welcoming and the teachers are friendly and approachable. We specifically enjoyed having a lead teacher who nurtured her through her journey at C&R. I highly recommend this centre to others looking for quality, safe and fun care for their tamariki.”

“I can't say enough positive things about Christopher and Robin. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt a genuine sense of warmth and professionalism. The staff are incredibly attentive, nurturing, and well-trained, creating a safe and stimulating environment. My child blossomed under their care, with noticeable improvements in social skills and independence. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a trustworthy and enriching daycare experience.”

“Excellent Childcare facility! Excellent, experienced and qualified staff! My daughter went to Christopher & Robin for 1 year after moving to Whangarei from Australia. Where do I start....they were so welcoming of my daughter which enabled her to settle in with out any trouble. The staff are easy to approach, I was able to discuss any concern's while done in confidence and work together to achieve what is best for the child. Christopher & Robin prepared my daughter for her first year of school with everything from education to play to the social aspect of school, where she was able to then transition into school without any trouble what so ever. She has grown into a confident, social, creative school kid. Thankyou to the Team for everything you have done!”
