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 Papatoetoe, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“My son started at this centre since he was 10 months old. As a first time mum, I have visited many centres before deciding to go with Go Bananas and do not regret my decision at all. I was reassured of good care and as a mum you just know your child is nurtured with love in their most critical developmental years. I’m at complete ease leaving my son at this centre from baby room and now in the toddler room. All staffs are like family and they give honest feedback and treat everyone with so much respect.”
