About Kimberley Childcare Greenlane
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 Kimberley Childcare Greenlane, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“I had a terrible experience with this childcare center. It was heartbreaking to see how my child was treated, especially around Christmas. While he was there, something happened that made him deeply afraid of one of the women caring for the children. I don't know exactly what occurred, but my child was terrified - he refused to look at her, didn’t want her to touch him, and cried whenever I tried to leave him there. This happened more than once, and it made me seriously question what was going on behind closed doors. No child should react with that kind of fear unless something truly upsetting has happened. Christmas was supposed to be a joyful time, but it turned into something painful for our family. While all the other children received gifts from "Santa" as their names were called, my 3-year-old was left out at first. Eventually, they did call his name and gave him a gift, but the way it was handled was humiliating -especially in front of such a large group of people at the party. It felt like we were treated as if we didn't matter. It was deeply embarrassing and hurtful. This place puts on a nice face in front of parents, but I fear that once the parents leave, it’s a completely different environment—one where the children are not treated with kindness or care. It feels like they are just pretending in order to keep their jobs, not because they genuinely care about the kids. I truly hope this childcare center is investigated or reconsidered. There are many better options out there, and I personally don’t believe this place should continue to operate. 👎🏻👎🏻”
“I just want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation to Kimberly Kindergarten. The staff are always kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Their respectful and loving way of dealing with children and parents makes a huge difference. My Triplets come home happy everyday, and that says so much about the environment they’re in. Knowing they’re in such good hands gives me real peace of mind. Thank you, Kimberly, for all the care, effort, and love you show – it truly means a lot! Yahya,Yaqub and Yaseen mom”
“Our child has been at Kimberley since he was 6 months old and is now in preschool. The care and support he’s received throughout each stage have been consistent and thoughtful. The staff are warm, attentive, and communicative. The environment is safe, clean, and engaging. We’ve seen steady growth in his confidence, independence, and social skills. We’re grateful for the foundation this daycare has provided and continue to feel confident leaving our child in their care.”
“We highly recommend Kimberly Childcare! Our two daughters have been attending since they were babies, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and dedication provided by the entire team. Every teacher and staff member is kind, nurturing, and deeply committed to creating a safe and engaging environment for the children. A special mention to Jo, the Centre Manager, whose warmth and attention make us feel welcomed every time we walk through the door. We also want to recognize teacher Jing, Rose, Anastasia and Vivian, whose professionalism and genuine care for the children have been remarkable. We are truly grateful to have such an amazing childcare center supporting our family!”
“Kimberley childcare provides very warm and safe environment. Nice and clean center. My daughter goes to ladybug room. She took time to adjust but now she is absolutely fine, teachers really helped in this. Jo is an amazing center manager who listens to your concerns and responds really quickly. Teacher Vivian and all other teachers are really lovely and helpful.”
