About Peekaboo Childcare Forrest Hill
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 Peekaboo Childcare Forrest Hill, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We love Peekaboo!!! Leaving our son was so scary the first time and they made myself and my son feel so at ease. He now loves it and wants to keep playing when I pick him up. I can tell they really enjoy their jobs and the staff are so kind and patient with the little ones. Highly recommend”
“Our family has had such a positive experience with Peekaboo Forrest Hill Preschool, and we truly couldn’t be happier with my boy’s time here. The teachers are warm, patient, and genuinely caring. They take the time to understand each child’s needs and personality, which has helped my son settle in so smoothly and grow with confidence. He always comes home cheerful, proud of what he learned, and excited to go back the next day — and as a parent, that means everything. The environment is safe, nurturing, and thoughtfully set up to encourage curiosity and independence. We especially appreciate the variety of activities, the outdoor play, and the way teachers guide children through social skills, problem-solving, and exploration in such a natural, respectful way. Communication with the centre has also been excellent — always timely, clear, and supportive. We feel very included in my son’s learning journey. We are truly grateful for the care and effort the team puts into the children every day. Highly recommended for any family looking for a loving and high-quality early childhood centre.”

The preschool room is tidy, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully organized, which makes it a welcoming space for the kids. We've also really appreciated how warm and caring the teachers are—it’s been reassuring to know he’s in such good hands. Thank you to the wonderful team at Peekaboo!”
