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

Parent Reviews
“We’ve been at ROCC for over a year now and we absolutely love it. It’s such a loving, friendly and nurturing environment with the best teachers. All the staff are super lovely and I feel that my child is in great hands. From transition week I’ve had individualized feedback from the teachers and I love that they’re helping my daughter build her confidence and support her independence.”
“Our son and daughter both love the staff and children at ROCC. The team create a fun nurturing safe environment for the kids to learn and explore. Love that the kids are encouraged to be active, use their imaginations and get messy. The staff and management team are extremely open, flexible and supportive. We often need to change days or increase or decrease due to our schedules and they team are always so accommodating.”
“Our youngest child has been gong to Royal Oak for 6 months now & has a lovely time. The staff are caring & attentive, taking the time to get to know the children & we have been very impressed. Special touches, such as pictures of the children on the walls make us all feel welcome, & a varied outside space make Royal Oak Childcare Centre a lovely environnent for young children. When we say goodbye to our child, it is a great comfort to know that he is having a lovely time surrounded by lovely people.”
“Second Home for my kids. Absolutely love Royal Oak Childcare Centre whether its the babies / toddlers or preschool section. Both my kids have enjoyed going here. The teachers are very caring and compassionate. They have a very good mix of activities that keep the kids busy along with lots of learning. We have always gone back to our kids smiling in this place - nothing more comforting than seeing them happy. Highly recommend it.”
“The care at Royal Oak Childcare is wonderful. They are so professional, warm and caring with my son. I feel so confident leaving them in my care, and any time I've needed to contact them with any concerns, questions or advice they have been super quick to get back to me. The centre has a lovely homely feel about it and we have built a great relationship with the staff.”
