About Eduplay Childcare Westgate
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 Eduplay Childcare Westgate, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We absolutely love Eduplay! From day one, the teachers and manager Sarah have been so warm, caring, and genuinely invested in our boys. The space is bright, safe and it’s such a nurturing, happy environment where the kids are encouraged to explore, learn, and have fun every day. The communication and support from the team is top tier. we couldn’t ask for a better place for our boys. We're so happy to be part of the Eduplay whānau! 💛”
“Edulpay are absolutely amazing with our daughter. They have gone over and beyond our expectations to offer us and our daughter all the support we need. Our son attended Eduplay (in school now) and he loved it there. It has been so nice for everyone to see how much our son has grown since he has not been at the centre for a lil while in between our daughters enrollment with Eduplay. I highly recommend Eduplay to all my friends (I would say 'and family' but we don't have any in NZ!). 5 STARS”
“Eduplay has been an integral part of our girl's daycare journey. It is bittersweet that we had to leave the centre earlier as we moved overseas but they are super amazing and we highly recommend. Your little one will be in the best care and will be having so much fun learning. Thank you so much Eduplay - now we can't help but compare & try to finding a daycare as good as you 🤍”
“I appreciate how Eduplay has been extremely helpful in ensuring my child has settled well before his official first day. The teachers are very warm and comforting. Additionally, the centre is very clean! And lastly, they prepare sugar-free meals!”
“Eduplay Westgate is a great centre! My daughter has been going there since she was 11 months old, the transition at the begging was very smooth. The teachers are so loving and caring, the centre is very clean. What I love the most is that they always hold events for the whole family to join, the most recent ones are Matariki Night and Mother’s Day event. Can’t wait for the next fun event!”
