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

“Just wanting to pass my hearfelt thanks to the teachers at go bananas pukekohe as my daughter has just completed her first 2 weeks of daycare at this centre. she’s absolutely loving the place. We are pleased with the level of care and love my daughter gets each day. Teachers are always so cooperative, attentive and caring. They always update us about my daughter’s day at each pick up. The other day whilst I was there to pick up my daughter, I witnessed some children asking parent to let them play for some more time, this really gave me reassurance as a parent 🙂 I never expected my daughter to have such smooth transition. I can already see her developing interest in food, play time and creativity, All thanks to you teachers @ go bananas pukekohe”
