Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees.

Since then, I've sent both of my children to this centre & they always look forward to going because they have so much fun! The activities are engaging and age-appropriate, and they're always learning new things. We love the way they encourage creativity and exploration. The staff are INCREDIBLE and absolutely adore the kids, and I know that they are well cared for. Communication is excellent and I love reading the regular stories and seeing the photo updates. I highly recommend Kindercare Papatoetoe!”
