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 Millie's House Waiwhetu, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“A very good center with awesome support and wonderful teachers. The staff go above and beyond to provide a safe, caring, and fun environment. Highly recommended!”
“Highly recommend Millie’s House in Waiwhetu for anyone looking for a lovely daycare for their children. The teachers are so kind and caring, 2 of my children have attended there and they felt more like family to us, they have all had such a positive impact on our kids and I couldn’t speak any more highly of how great centre is 😊”
“Absolutely lovely here my toddler loves it. Teachers are great always telling us how his day has been how much he eats and how he’s developing would have loved for him to stay and send our youngest there as well but sadly we are relocating to Australia.”
“As a mum of 3 children, I would say this is the best Kindy I have ever experienced. My son has never been sick in the 18 months he has been in this kindergarten， which is pretty miraculous. The teachers are always very loving and understanding. They not only take care of their children, but also set rules for them to be reasonable. I think they are even better than some private pre-schools. My son is no longer in this Kindy because we are moving to other cities, but I still believe they are the best.”
“Millie’s House is a great option for our whanau. They provide a nurturing environment for our son’s learning and development. Our son has a close bond with the teachers, and we enjoy reading the regular updates on what he has been up to.”
