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 Grey Lynn, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our 18mth old daughter has recently started Lollipops. We have been so impressed with how kind and flexible the management and teachers are. Our daughter has transitioned so easily and is so happy there. She loves the large spaces and activities that are available to her.”
“Our daughter has been at Lollipops for nearly two years from nursery to the bigger class, and we couldn’t speak more highly of the centre. The centre manager Cherie leads with a huge amount of care, compassion, love and support and the teachers and cook are like family. There are lots of great learning spaces and we are constantly impressed with the skills our daughter comes home with.”
“I couldn’t speak more highly of Lollipops Grey Lynn. The centre manager, Cherie is wonderful and the teachers so kind, caring and supportive with the children. They do so many great activities, my son loves going to daycare each day.”
“I can’t recommend this centre highly enough. It has undergone so many positive changes recently, and the impact is clear. From the centre manager to the teachers and admin staff, everyone is genuinely friendly, supportive, and dedicated to the kids well being.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Lollipops Grey Lynn! My partner and I were looking for a centre that would help build her confidence and social skills — and we found exactly that 🥰 She absolutely loves it there and even asks to go on the weekends! The teachers are warm and welcoming, the children are calm and well-supported, and anytime we’ve had questions, the centre manager and admin have been quick to help. My daughter is quite fussy with food but anything that the cook makes is exceptional in my daughters books. We feel genuinely supported as parents and so grateful to be part of such a wonderful community. Would highly recommend 🥰💕”
