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 Premium Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Both of my boys have absolutely thrived in the P2 environment, it was the best decision I made switching from a kindy of over 60 kids per day to the small environment of P2. You can see the difference with the detail the teachers take in setting up activities for the children every day, creating a variety of activities following the Childrens’ interest and making sure these activities are switched out regularly. Also love how they take them out for ‘wilderness walks’ every week to learn more about the environment around them. I found the structure and routine they implement in P2 was invaluable with my oldest starting school. Cannot recommend this place enough.”

“Premium Preschool has been absolutely fantastic for my daughter. From day one she has been stimulated with age appropriate activities. The teachers are invested in the children’s interests and set up wonderful displays and activities for the children to engage with. The level of care has been high. No snotty noses, no sagging nappies and a lovely clean space for the children to enjoy. I could not recommend this preschool more- I am so thankful that my daughter had such a great early childhood experience. Thanks to Premium Preschool she is ready to move onto school confident and prepared!”

“My 2 kids loved P2, the caring teachers really set them up to be confident and independent and ready to start school. Lots of outdoor play and wildnerness walks. Small enough so that each child's interests can be nutured through play. A changing inside / outside environment keeps the kids exploring and discovering new learning experiences:)”

“I couldn’t speak more highly of this centre. There is absolutely no other centre quite like this one and you are quick to realise this upon spending welcomed time there. The kids here get the opportunity to go on bus rides, make trips to the local super market to purchase foods to complement the food they have grown, learnt and hand picked in their own garden, they go on bike rides, learn about things that are important and current to our world, the list goes on and on. My daughters development is growing at a rapid rate and I honestly wish I could take all the credit for it but I know the large majority stems from P2. The teachers all know how to care, extend, and most importantly understand what works best for her. I believe that her needs would get lost in a bigger centre so it’s nice that numbers are kept low here. P2 is not just an early childhood centre, it’s a family where everyone is accepted and embraced, family’s are connected together, relationships are built and successes are celebrated. When our time here is up, we will walk away with some life long friends and connections. I am so thankful that my daughter gets to experience care like this. Again, I could not recommend this centre any more.”

“We absolutely love Premium Preschool and would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s a fantastic, nurturing learning environment with amazing teachers. There are lots of opportunities to spend time outside in nature and recognition of your child’s individual strengths and interests. It’s highly personable due to the small size, with great communication from all the highly skilled teachers. We are so lucky to have this wonderful preschool in our local area and our daughter thrives there. 100% recommended!”
