About Nurture Early Learning Centre
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 Nurture Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our family has had a great experience with sending our Son to daycare at Nurture. From the very first day, we felt the genuine care and support from the teachers to both our son and our family. The teachers are extremely capable and friendly, often spending time at the end of each day giving me detailed descriptions of how the day went for my son. I've particularly loved the multi-cultural aspect of the centre (from both a staff and student perspective, as well as the provocations the teachers set up for students). I would 1000000% recommend Nurture to anyone looking for a daycare centre in Avondale.”
“The teachers are amazing and my child loves it there. The teachers look after the children so well. I'm so happy about the decision we made.”
“We got a safe and welcomed feeling in our day one visit to the centre. Over the two years that our kid thrived in this centre we enjoyed the environment and care that teachers and support team provided. Their kind teachers, cleanness and food and nutrition are superb. Highly recommend.”
“The kids and I love Nurture, all of the staff are friendly and helpful. The teachers are engaging in the way they nurture and care for the kids and also know how to have fun. The kids are fed healthy and varied food from their onsite kitchen. I love the different cultural experiences they offer for the kids(and the parents)too. I highly recommend!”
“Left two messages for Onehunga (phone and email - over a two week period) regarding enrolment. No one called back. Called for third time and inquired re enrolment and the cost per day for a child under two. Was told that they wouldn't give that information over the phone. Every other centre didn't have an issue providing this information and most display on their website. Poor customer service.”
