About Lollipops Mount Albert
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 Mount Albert, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Lollipops has been a wonderful place for our child. The teachers are incredibly patient and caring, and the centre has a warm, culturally diverse environment where everyone feels welcome. The space is always clean, well-organised, and set up in a way that really encourages imagination and play. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they give every day.”
“Very supportive daycare! We had problems in another daycare… My son was coming back home with marks on his body all the time, struggling with toileting and speaking as well. He is just a different kid now. He is happy, He got better in absolutely everything and my biggest regret until now is not move him to this centre before. Good environment, heaps of activities , good communication, beautiful place, car parking… You guys are doing great! God bless you all!”
“I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience my son, Shivaay, has had at Lollipop's Childcare- Mount Albert. The entire team of teachers has been exceptional in providing a nurturing and caring environment for him. Their dedication to each child's well-being and development is evident in the way they interact with the kids and create a positive, fun learning atmosphere. Shivaay has not only grown academically but has also greatly improved his social skills, thanks to the engaging activities and the encouragement he receives daily. The teachers have gone above and beyond to ensure that he feels safe, happy, and included. Their communication with parents is excellent, keeping us informed and involved in our child's progress. I highly recommend Lollipop's Childcare to any parent looking for a place where their child will be loved, cared for, and given the opportunity to thrive. Thank you to all the amazing teachers for everything you do!”
“My daughter has been attending Lollipops Mt Albert for the last year, and we could not be happier with the care she receives. From the moment you arrive, it’s obvious what a caring and nurturing environment the wonderful staff have created, and this shines through to the care the children have for each other. My daughter adores all of her teachers (as do I), and we recommend Lollipops to anyone in the area looking for a culturally rich, creative and kind pre-school that puts children’s needs, safety and emotional/physical health first.”
“My son goes to Lollipops Mount Albert since he was 5 months old. All the teachers are loving & caring. They look after children so well. I am very happy to send my son at lollipops. highly recommended. They have lots of activities, learning which helps children to learn, improve & grow in all aspects of life.”
