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

Parent Reviews
“Would highly recommend Halswell Quarry. My baby (9 months) has been there for 3 months. They have been attentive and caring as we transitioned to the preschool. My baby has connected well with all the teachers in the nursery. At pick-up they talk to you about how your child has gone for the day, they provide food, they remember things you are concerned about, and they very clearly care about all the children in their care. Their administration is impeccable. Storypark posts every day, completed daily journals of the your child's day, quick updates by email if there are concerns, and thorough monthly updates on your child's progress.”
“They don't tell u but there is a $100 sign up fee to enroll. The environment isn't very stimulating even though it looks new and pretty. Definitely won't be returning my son hated being stuck inside and teachers not very informative.”
“👍👍👍👍👍”
