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

Parent Reviews
“The staff at Greendale Kids are incredibly dedicated and supportive, always encouraging the children to explore their interests and express their creativity. The diverse activities offered, from arts and crafts to outdoor play, have allowed my son to discover new passions and make lasting friendships. What truly stands out is the nurturing environment that fosters independence and confidence. Each day, he comes home excited to share what he has learned and the fun adventures he experienced with his friends. The emphasis on both learning and play has made his transition into preschool seamless and enjoyable. Additionally, the communication from the Kaiako is excellent, keeping us informed about his progress and any special events happening at the center. We feel like part of a community that genuinely cares about our children's well-being and development. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our choice in Greendale Kids. It has become a second home for my son, and I am grateful for the positive impact it continues to have on his early years.”
“Amazing teachers, Lots of variety for the children. Love Greendale Kids Nursery!!”
“We had a rocky start finding the right care for my youngest, until we visited Greendale Kids. The team are super supportive, the environment is calm and it feels like home to the small cohort of littlies. Highly recommended! Update: our daughter has been at GKids for almost a year and we still love it. Great communication, really responsive staff who always take the time to catch up with you.”
“Greendale Kids has been an incredible environment for my daughter to learn and play and build friendships and relationships with the teachers. The team go above and beyond with everything they do and never fail to connect with parents on a personal level”
“We have loved our time at Dot Kids Nursery. My son has attended from when he was just over a year old and the teachers were amazing at helping him settle in and made the transition a smooth one. The teachers are all friendly and welcoming and take the time to get to know your child and your family. The centre has a homely feel with a large outdoor area and lots of fun toys and age-appropriate equipment for the children to play and explore. They provide yummy, healthy food and often mark special days and events with dress ups and themed activities. A lovely centre.”
