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

Parent Reviews
“The best daycare centre in Wainui. Love the teachers who are always smiling and making sure that the kids are taken care of and enjoying to their max. The space for kids to play and move around is huge. My son loves it and my daughter will join them soon. They use storypark as well to update you on your child’s learning and other notifications.”
“Brilliant staff that really care for each tamariki. Friendly and professional”
