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

Parent Reviews
“Dudley creek has been an amazing find for us. We moved from Auckland, where my son hated going into pre school and now we found Dudley creek we managed to find a little place where he thrives. The teachers are all so caring and understanding and they really know my little boy. I'm so thankful we found you.”
“Absolutely love this preschool. My daughter has been so happy here for the last 3 years. The teachers are so lovely, the children happy, and my daughter has thrived here. Peaceful, positive atmosphere. A caring and inclusive culture. Couldn’t be happier with it.”
“Dudley Creek is a truly exceptional preschool! Both of our children have been beautifully supported by the exceptional kaiako - they are all so committed to meeting the needs of each individual and the love and care they show every child is heart warming. We love the ‘family feel’ at Dudley Creek with events such as Matariki evenings, grandparents mornings, school holiday mornings for school leavers etc. You are made to feel welcome and part of the Dudley Creek whānau the first time you step through the door. The outdoor environment feels like your own back garden (with way more fun equipment to use!), and the indoor environment has so many options to engage kids and to capture their interests. We love Dudley Creek Preschool and are so grateful for the way our children have thrived in their care.”
“Sue and her team at Dudley Creek are absolutely amazing teachers! We love how involved they are with not only the kids but with their families too. Not one day is the same there and my children are always coming home saying how much fun they have had and all the adventures they got up to. We 100% would recommend this preschool to all. :)”
