About Playcentre
Playcentres are parent-led early childhood services where families work alongside trained educators to support children’s learning through play, offering a warm, community-driven environment. These centres cater to parents who want to be actively involved in their child’s early education, enjoying a supportive, cooperative model that values whānau participation and mixed-age play.
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 Lynfield Playcentre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Today we celebrated my son’s birthday at the Chill out Room, Y lynfield, and it was an absolute delight! The ambiance was charming, the manager and staff were attentive and friendly, and the attention to detail in cleaning the space for the occasion was impressive. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to host an enjoyable birthday party with not too many guests for their toddler. Thank you.”
“The park offers outstanding amenities, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. During our visits on two weekends, the staff consistently demonstrated politeness and friendliness. The main gymnasium is suitable for badminton and hosting functions, and there is also an additional private hire room available. The parking here is excellent, plenty of space available.”
“This is the community hub for local gym enthusiasts. But there is more than that. They also have a badminton hall and table tennis table. The toilets are clean and tidy. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We did a fun filled orienteering! Highly recommended!”
