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 Eskdale Treehouse Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Being a first time mum heading back into work I was very emotional and nervous about putting my girl in daycare. The team at Eskdale Treehouse have made the transition absolutely amazing. The second I walked in there I got this homely feel, from the home cooked meals, the outdoor play area and the teachers themselves. Nicky and the team are absolutely lovely and you can tell they love and take pride in looking after the kids as if they were their own. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a daycare for your little one.”

“Awesome centre! Enrolling both children here was the best move we made. The teaching team is lovely and very professional, they love children and actually teach them at Treehouse. Good ratio, fresh and healthy meals (thanks, Teresa!❤️), warm and friendly environment, lots of learning. Thank you Nicky and the team, for being amazing!”

“We felt very happy and welcomed at this chilcare. From the very first day, we experienced a caring and family-like environment that gave us great peace of mind. A big thank you to all the teachers for their support and dedication — we truly appreciate everything you've done for us. The staff goes above and beyond in every way. My daughter started when she was two and stayed until she was five, and enrolling her in this center was the best decision we ever made. This is a highly recommended place for families in the zone.”

“We made the decision to move our child to Eskdale Treehouse when they turned two and we are so glad we did. Change can be hard but the team at Eskdale Treehouse made us and our child feel like we were at home. Now almost three, we feel like part of a family there — Nicky and the teachers are nurturing, keep our child well feed, engaged and happy. We are always kept well informed about what’s happening, what our child is doing during the day, anything they are learning or struggling with. The team are always open to feedback and to help get the best outcomes for our child. If you are looking for a childcare centre that feels like an extension of your home and family, Eskdale Treehouse is most definitely the place. They are truly part of our village and we couldn’t recommend Eskdale Treehouse more.”

“Our daughter is currently attending Treehouse, she began at age 2 and has just turned 4. We could not be more grateful and appreciative for the overwhelming care and attention that Treehouse provides. From the loving environment, the attention to our daughter's needs; personal, cognitive and educational - the staff go above and beyond expectations, everyday. Treehouse is a fun, creative and caring environment, it has a vibe unlike any other daycare we have visited and we feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful group of people helping to raise our child.”
