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

Parent Reviews
“We can't recommend Feathers enough; our toddler has been there since he was five months old. We visited 2 other ECEs in the area, and while they were fine, we just didn't get the same warmth that we did from Feathers. The communication is great, we often receive messages, photos and updates and know that our little one is having the time of his life. Feathers also love to celebrate language weeks, Matariki, Chinese New Year, Diwali and Mother's/Father's Day, it's all so lovely to be a part of.”
“Such an amazing centre with the most kind and caring Kaiako who truely love, listen to and respect their children. A centre that truely values the families they care for and involve the parents and wider Whānau as much as possible. Plus, delicious and nutritious meals are cooked for the kids every day!”
“Absolutely love this centre! The teachers are so caring and genuinely invested in the children’s learning and wellbeing. My child has grown in confidence, made beautiful friendships, and looks forward to going every single day. The environment is welcoming, creative, and feels like a second home. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly!”
“I had done some research when i first moved to Massey Area and had paid a lot of visits to many childcare centres. Feathers, from the outside appearance, did not really that attractive to us at first. However, things changed since the moment I contacted the school and decided to drop by for a quick visit. I cannot speak highly enough about Feathers early learning centre! From the moment we enrolled our child, we felt welcomed and reassured by their caring and professional staff. The teachers are incredibly dedicated, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's development. Our baby looks forward to going every day and has blossomed both academically and socially since starting. If you are looking for a reliable place to send your child, i would highly recommend Feathers Early learning centre!”
“After a terrible experience with another centre, I was super cautious around enrolling our girl with another daycare. My friend recommended Feathers and our girl has now been there for 6 months. All my worries were swept away when I saw the care and time that is poured into her. Feathers is like a second family and our experience has been incredible. Our girl is thriving and is so happy to go each day. She’s provided with so many amazing opportunities and learning. The teachers are so passionate and caring. Each child is treated individually and the love is evident. We love Feathers and are so excited to watch our girl grow even more under their care!”
