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 Fantails Childcare - Country, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Fantails country, the staff are so welcoming and kind. The amount of joy and learning I know my lil rascals are getting from the team there is amazing. They come home daily with new stories and skill sets that are set to help them progress in this world we love. Highly recommend it to people. Thanks team”
“This place has such a lovely family feel. If your child loves the outdoors they have a fantastic yard with so much to do. Beautiful surroundings and nature everywhere. The teachers take so much care and no each child individually. We barely get a goodbye before our one runs off to play at drop off.”
“It has been like a 2nd home to our little one. She is thriving and loving her carers and friends. They provide the most wonderful team of carers. Extremely knowledgeable and sympathetic. Could not be any happier with our choice.”
“My two sons have attended Fantails Country and loved it so much sometimes they wouldn't want to leave. Amazing staff, great organisation by management and overall a happy, friendly and fun environment for kids to learn. Any issues or concerns ever raised are always dealt with in a timely manner. I would highly recommend to any family!!!”
