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

“My son has been attending Panmure Bridge Childcare Centre since late January and they immediately made him feel so welcome and loved. I love how involved the teachers are with the children. Every morning when I drop off my son all the teachers welcome you with a bright smile. They keep me updated with my son’s learning and if there is anything that I should be concerned about. The centre is also right next to Panmure Bridge School so my son is able to see his older sister through the window sometimes. If you live in the area and are looking for a childcare centre to send your children - I highly recommend PBCC ☺️”

“Our daughter has been attending Panmure Bridge Childcare Centre since February. I feel very lucky to have found this place. One of the features I like about centre is its location. The outdoor area and sandpit overlook a large reserve, which gives the centre a beautiful, open view that feels calm and spacious something quite rare in childcare settings. It’s also next to Panmure Bridge School, so the children can sometimes see the older kids through the fence, which adds a nice sense of connection. The teachers are caring and supportive, and they’ve helped our child settle in well. She especially enjoys paintings, messy plays, songs, playing in the sandpit and outside. The team also communicates well with parents. I always feel updated and involved in my child’s learning and daily experiences. It’s a place where I know she is safe, happy, and growing in confidence. Thank you to the team for creating such a welcoming and engaging environment.”

“My two children currently attend Panmure Bridge Childcare Centre and we couldn’t be more happy with the amazing quality of care our children receive, and the awesome support their staff provide. The staff do such an awesome job of creating a safe, inclusive, warm and welcoming environment for all the kids, as well as the parents. Im so grateful for their work and commitment to our children. The layout of the childcare is perfect. They have the opportunities to mix with lots of children of different ages, including being able to see the older children over at the Primary school next door. There are so many different activities for the children to get involved in, and my kids love it! Over the short time that we’ve been with PBCC I’ve been able to create amazing connections with many of the staff, and my children adore each and every one of them as well. If you are wanting your child to feel at home - away from home, Panmure Bridge Childcare is perfect for your and your kid(s).”

“Panmure Bridge Childcare Centre is next to my older kids' school (Panmure Bridge School). Both my sons attend here and have settled in well. The teachers have gone beyond my expectations to make an effort and engage with my kids by including our family cultural values and beliefs into their individual learning journey. They are really committed to providing a safe, fun and loving environment. I am very thankful to the whole team at Panmure Bridge Childcare Centre.Fees are pretty cheap compared to others in the area too. Highly recommend this place your kids will love it.”
