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 Lancaster Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“I was so anxious about sending my 11-month-old to daycare, but I couldn’t be happier! The team is amazing — my daughter is having so much fun and settled in so quickly. We get regular updates, and it’s clear she’s thriving. I highly recommend!”

“Excellent”
“I recently swapped my 14mth old boy from a previous daycare to Lancaster learning centre and the difference has been like night & day! The staff are absolutely fabulous - everyone is super friendly and approachable. Recently my son developed slight separation anxiety and Kimmy has gone out of her way to send me regular emails and pictures of how happy my son is playing at the centre. I couldn't recommend this centre more and am so happy to have the pleasure of bringing my son there. Thanks team =)”
