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

“Amazing Daycare Experience! The care and attention my child receives at Hatchlings Educare truly exceeds all expectations. The staff are warm, friendly, and truly passionate about what they do. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow. The facility is always clean, well-organized, and filled with engaging activities that keep my child excited to go every day. The daily updates and photos they provide make me feel connected to my child's experience. Since joining my son, I’ve seen so much improvement in my child’s social, cognitive and speaking skills. It’s clear they genuinely care about each child’s development. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, positive, and enriching place for their little one!”

“A great early childhood care centre in Glenview. Champa and her team are capable and warm individuals that puts the needs of the child first. The centre is warm and filled with sunlight and with an app to show you what's been happening with your child during the day - it helps capture key moments in their lives despite being cared for by others. Highly recommended if you live nearby!”
