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

Parent Reviews
“I often tell people that Freckles in Rolleston feels like it has an 'aura'. Which I believe is due to the staff, and their overwhelming care for our tamariki. It is always heartwarming to hear genuinely happy stories about my child's progress, and it's plain to see my child loves it at Freckles, as she wants to stay longer, and go for more days. The facilities are awesome, great ideas, an excellent education, lots of creativity, and a lot of fun overall. All teachers know us by name, and we feel like an important part of the Freckles family. My child can tell you many body parts, muscles and bones, due to the Mr Marrow (skeleton and song), she is only 4, so this is pretty cool. Freckles is awesome! 5/5 stars, I would not go anywhere else. Recommend to all.”
