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

“Our experience with Kiddos (formerly Lollipops) has been a wonderful experience. We have two children enrolled one part time and one full time. My 3yo who attends full time is always excited to get to daycare which as a parent is always a relief, the teachers are attentive and always eager to explore the kid’s imagination. Our son comes home only speaking highly of his kaiako. He’s bonded with all of them beautifully. The staff are always willing to support and listen to our needs as a family and cater to our unique needs as I’m sure they do for every other family too. It’s lovely walking in to cheerful people and laughter every morning. My 7 month old attends a few mornings a week and his kaiako are extremely reassuring and supportive not only to him but to me, a mother, as well. We are so glad to have a great support network in the form of a daycare. I would recommend Kiddos (formerly Lollipops’s) a thousand times over. Nga mihi”
