About Go Bananas Childcare
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 Go Bananas Childcare, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My boys have attended Go Bananas since 2020. The team are very friendly and have taken such good care of my kids. Parents are sent regular updates on what our kids are doing, which I appreciate (parents were also sent age-appropriate activity ideas during lockdown which was great!). My eldest has since started school and I think the transition was made much easier thanks to his time at Go Bananas.”
“Such an amazing daycare, was super nervous taking my first baby to daycare for the first time but after seeing the daycare and their teachers I felt so much better about leaving her with them. They do such an amazing job and make all the kids feel like they belong. Would definitely recommend this daycare, ten out of ten”
“Go Bananas childcare is amazing. My kids have been going there for a while and the staff is very friendly and professional. The rooms are always clean and very well organised. Place is colourful with pictures of art and work done by kids and teachers. I know my kid is happy and in safe hands. Please keep on the great job that you ladies do ⭐️⭐️💛”
“Great daycare. Both my children are enjoying the environment and teachers are so friendly and supportive. Welcoming environment.”
“My child is going to the Go Banana Daycare facility for quite some time, and I must say that the facilities truly stand out from the rest. The staff at this place are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making both me and my child feel right at home. But what sets them apart is their unique approach to training children to become independent. They empower the little ones to do things on their own, fostering a sense of confidence and self-reliance. One of the standout features of this childcare facility is their own software app that allows parents to stay updated on their child's daily activities. It's a convenient and efficient way to keep track of what your child is up to throughout the day. This level of transparency and communication is truly impressive. The classrooms at this facility are big and bright, creating a stimulating environment for the children. They are filled with an abundance of toys and learning materials, ensuring that the little ones are engaged and entertained. It's a space where creativity and imagination can thrive. This childcare facility is truly exceptional. The friendly staff, focus on independence, and innovative use of technology make it a standout choice. If you're looking for a place where your child can grow, learn, and have fun, this is the place to be.”
