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

“Midcity Childcare has been the best experience for my boys. The genuine connection the teachers have with their tamariki and with our whānau has exceeded every expectation. The environment is warm and nurturing, the resources are plentiful and engaging, the kai was delicious and the teachers’ knowledge and expertise are truly exceptional. I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and support they provided during our preschool years.”

“I enrolled my son at midcity following my niece attending almost 10 years ago and the amazing experience she had. Midcity from the start always made me feel so comfortable and reassured being a new mum and I’m so grateful for the love and care they provided and still provide my two sons. The teachers are so supportive with different learning and creating an environment that allows my kids to explore and grow. Thank you so much for all you do!!”

“My son has been in daycare since he was 6 months old and transitioned to the toddler room at Midcity in 2023. The staff at Midcity have done an incredible job settling him in and creating a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable environment for him to learn and grow. As a full-time working single mum, it's such a relief to know my son is cared for by amazing kaiako who are attentive to his needs every day. I'm also grateful to Wendy, the wonderful chef, who provides nutritious meals for all the tamariki. A big thank you to Centre Manager Ange and the Toddler/Kindy kaiako—Jessie, Vanessa, Holly, Abbie, Claudia, Grace, and Sarah—for being approachable, understanding, and incredibly supportive since my son started. If you're a busy Māmā or Pāpā working in Hamilton Central and looking for a reliable daycare close to your office, Midcity Childcare is definitely the place for your tamaiti”

“Midcity is awesome!! Our little tornado loved her kaiako and I am forever grateful for Ange the Centre manager and all her awhi to my little whānau. The kindy rountines were super helpful for our home routines and also prep to school. Highly recommend sending your little one here especially if you’re after a family-feel and easy to work with Centre. The kid raves about the food too. Not making lunches for atleast one child was glorious while it lasted!”

“Can not recommend Midcity higher. My soon to be 5 year old has been attending since he was 6 months old and there has never been a day he hasn’t wanted to go. The issue is normally trying to get him to leave rather than go. He loves the nature program in kindy and has been supported to get ready for school. My 1 year old also loves attending and you can feel they are so well cared for and loved by all the staff. Only downside is my kids now criticise everything I cook as it’s never as good as Wendy’s at Midcity, they just love the home cooked meals.”
