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 Saplings Early Learning Limited, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My son attended Saplings at around 1 year old. He has lots of fun and enjoys every moment there. He especially enjoyed the creative arts and crafts projects, which fostered a love for learning and creativity. He also loves playing at the sandpits which is very spacious and full of resources. The warmth, professionalism, and dedication of the staff have made a lasting positive impact on my son’s development and creativity. Thanks everyone at Saplings to help transforming my son from a shy baby boy to a confident toddler. Saplings is my son’s second home and we are glad that we picked the best daycare for him. Worths every penny! Highly recommended!”
“We had such a great experience the few years that our son attended Saplings. The teachers and staff are so welcoming, helpful and just a pleasure to communicate with. We are confident that our son was 100% prepared for starting school, Thankyou Saplings team 🧡”
