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 Lollipops Browns Bay, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Our daughter has been attending Lollipops Browns Bay for a couple of months now, and we’re really happy with how well she has settled in. She’s adjusted quickly and genuinely prefers this centre over her previous one. I really appreciate the dedication and attention the teachers give to each child, they clearly care and take the time to understand every student’s needs. The structure and routine at the centre are great, and we’ve noticed big improvements in our daughter’s speech, confidence, and social skills. She’s also learned so many new songs, which she loves to sing at home 🎶 The centre is always clean, well-organized, and supervised, with teachers present and attentive at all times. We feel confident that she’s in a safe and nurturing environment. Highly recommend Lollipops Browns Bay to any parent looking for a caring and well-managed early learning centre! 🌼”

“Lollipops Browns Bay has been an incredible place for my daughter from the age of 1 to 5. The entire team is trustworthy, nurturing, and dedicated, making it so easy for me to leave my little one in their care, knowing she was safe, loved, and well looked after. Throughout her time there, she thrived emotionally, socially, and academically, and the skills she developed have helped her transition smoothly into school. I truly appreciate the hard work, dedication, and warmth that the staff put into creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment for the children. A huge thank you to the amazing team at Lollipops Browns Bay for giving our family peace of mind and for being such a big part of my daughter's early years. We will always be grateful for the love and care she received! We love you all !!!”

“Friends around us all recommend this school. We just came from China. The child has been in school for five months. The teacher is very serious and responsible. The baby is only over one year old. She is looking forward to coming to school every day. Special thanks to every teacher here!”

“Lollipops Browns Bay are fantastic! Both our girls were here for 3.5 years (the youngest just left to start school) and the staff are so caring & supportive. I always felt welcome and my girls loved it! (a second home for them). They made good friends, ate great meals & had great interactive fun learning which was shared through great stories and pictures on their app. Ajah is a fantastic & kind Manager who steps in to help out where ever she's needed (always a smile on her face!). Rosie & the rest of the team are amazing! Thanks so much Lollipops Browns Bay for everything. We miss you & will be back for a visit next school hols!! :)”
