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 Fun 'N' Play Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Very family orientated and always have lovely updates of what's happening in the centre on their class app. I find this centre very intimate with a great easy flow for children to adapt to. All the teachers and management are all lovely, easy to approach and have a chat with. Best of all, they provide meals for the kiddies, which for busy mums is one less thing to worry about!”
