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

“The team at Go bananas horotiu are amazing. They are so welcoming and friendly. The staff interact with all the kids amazingly. My girl has settled in so well thanks to all the staff !! 😁😁 I was that anxious mum, sending my 6 months old baby into childcare, but the staff made me feel so much more comfortable, and knowing my girl is in a safe, fun, loving environment makes it so much better 🥰🥰 Honestly couldn't ask for a better childcare . I love how they have the 3 different rooms for different ages. The set up is great.”
“My wee girl started just after opening of the new centre. The staff blend together so well for a new daycare. I love seeing how proud they are when they tell me what my daughter got up to for the day. My daughter has settled in amazingly with the help and support of the team. The office team are equally as amazing and have been so lovely from the very first visit. We visited ten daycares and nothing came close to Go Bananas Horotiu 🙂”
