About Ngaio Childcare Centre Inc
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 Ngaio Childcare Centre Inc, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our child has had an incredible experience at this childcare, and as she moves on to primary school in a fortnight, we know she will never forget this place. The teacher-to-child ratio is fantastic, ensuring that each child gets the care and attention they need. The teachers are not only professional but also deeply caring and supportive, fostering a warm and nurturing environment. The location right next to the library has been a highlight, as our child loves the regular visits.”
“My son has been at NCC for nearly three years, and absolutely loved his time there. The teachers are fantastic people - so caring and invested in the children's development. It has been like a home away from home for our son, who proudly declares it's "my crèche!" everytime we drive past. I credit the wonderful teaching staff, under head teacher Pip's meticulous guidance, with having helped him develop into the confident, creative, and caring kid that he is. Tino pai te mahi e te whānau o NCC, you are the best!”
“We had our little boy started in Ngaio Creche when he was 2 yr. The teachers created a warm and welcoming environment that put my wee boy at ease. I love the smaller setting, the camaraderie between the teachers, and the confidence the teachers have in handling and speaking with the kids. They were engaged, enthusiastic, and clearly loved their work. We also appreciate the regular updates, open communication, and flexibility in scheduling for last minute childcare help. Pip is always so prompt in her replies and helpful to schedule us in for extra childcare ! We feel grateful to have found such a wonderful childcare home in Ngaio Creche and highly recommend Ngaio Creche to anyone seeking exceptional care for their little ones!”
“This is the first place we’ve left our daughter and we couldn’t be happier. Pip and Hannah helped us settle her in and she absolutely loves her sessions here. The teachers really care about the kids and it has a happy, homely feel. I would happily recommend Ngaio Childcare to anyone.”
“The best little boutique Crèche. The Teachers are so lovely and caring and look after my little boy like he is one of their own! Small numbers and quality care. Wonderful experiences and professional learning being recorded daily. Great activities planned and great facilities. Perfect place to send your beautiful babies and preschoolers knowing they will be well cared for.”
