About Crossways Community Creche
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 Crossways Community Creche, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our little one has flourished since coming to Crossways. We found a place with a strong community, the most caring kaiako, and every day we confirm that this is the best choice we made for our family. I love that this is a small centre as well. Highly recommend.”
“The best early childcare centre in the city! Amazing kaiako, great ratios and each child valued for their unique strengths. Crossways is also a Registered charity - no corporate driven for profit vibes here.”
“Our children love attending Crossways! It’s a small centre where the kaiako have real connections with our children, along with providing incredible care and learning experiences. There are always lots of activities and celebrations going on. As well as fun excursions to go on - from bush walks to the theatre, and the airport to playgrounds! There’s a strong sense of community that makes it feel like more than just a childcare centre. We’re so grateful to be a part of it 🤍”
“A place supports not only kids but also parents. My kids are happy to be at the crèche. Children’s health and safety are ensured, and they have access to various activities throughout the day. Love our crèche’!”
“Both my children attend Crossways and it's truly a special place. The kaiako are incredibly caring and have been wonderful guides through each stage of my son and daughters' learning journeys. We love the strong sense of community and the connections we've made with other families. We choose to travel from the eastern suburbs to take our children here. Grateful we found this place.”
