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

“Both of my kids have attended Go Banana Kindergarten, and as a parent, I truly feel that they are in safe and loving hands. The teachers care for the children like their own and always keep us updated on everything happening at the kindy. They notify us well in advance about any events, which helps us stay involved. The food they provide is so delicious that my kids keep asking me to make the same meals at home. The environment is always neat, tidy, and very safe, with plenty of parking available for parents. The fees are also very affordable, which is a big plus. What I really appreciate is that the teachers take time to understand each child based on input from the parents, which helps them care for the children in the best way possible. It's a warm, welcoming, and well-organised kindergarten — highly recommended”

“My son has been to this branch for about 2 months only and we are noticing a positive change in him. We are extremely happy with the care and attention our 3-year-old son receives at Go Bananas, New Lynn. The teachers are genuinely caring and dedicated, consistently ensuring his well-being while closely monitoring his daily activities, progress, and involvement in classroom routines. We truly appreciate their commitment to tailoring our child’s learning experience. Their recent request for additional information to further personalise his learning plan shows their thoughtful and proactive approach. It’s reassuring to see how focused and engaged they are in supporting every child’s development. Special shout-out to teacher Mini for her proactive approach to planning and delivering the learning content. As parents, we feel confident and grateful knowing our son is in such nurturing and professional hands. We highly recommend Go Bananas, New Lynn, to other families looking for a supportive and enriching early learning environment.”

“My son has been going there since he was 1 year and 3 months. He is 4 and half now. I would say it was a great and memorable journey for him . Some ups and downs but staff is really very cooperative and understanding. Not only listens to your concerns but also try their best for positive outcomes. Would suggest new parents to visit and choose this place for your little ones. I am sure you will not regret”

“Ok starting with my son started with Best star as day care when he was 5 months old and trust me it was the worst experience with them. But when I joined Go banana I loved the staff, the cleanliness, the culture. Service. Everything. Best part is teachers will update you with your child growth almost every week. Worth sending your child there. Second home to my son. Thank you for your support Team. Best Regards Saana. I love Sheetal the most ❤️”
