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 Takapuna Learning Space, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“I spent a lot of time looking around many daycares across the Shore, and this one is by far the best. My son has been here for two years now and is absolutely thriving. The teachers are wonderful, highly educated, and genuinely care for the children as if they were their own. His learning and development have come so far, and the environment is always warm, safe, and engaging. The food is great too, which is a huge bonus! Couldn’t recommend this daycare more.”
“My son Elijah went to TLS, in the beginning i was anxious sending him as first time to attend daycare, but the team was so welcoming and very supportive of him since day 1, So my Elijah settled in quickly and all my worries just went off. Elijah bloomed and developed social skills and confidence, we are very grateful to TLS team. Bisg shout out to Justine and Jessie! Great place and great Team! xx”
“We were part of the TLS whanau for seven years. Both our boys and us grew up together with them. Throughout our years there, we felt supported and like they were genuinely invested in our boys wellbeing and development. The boys thrived in the large outdoors areas and plentiful opportunities to engage in self led play, with ability to interact with provocations or explore for themselves. We couldn't recommend TLS more highly.”
“This is my placement centre. the most perfect one in my heart, truly embodying the principles of Te Whāriki and Pikler . When you’re here, you can feel that every teacher is joyful, gentle, and patient, genuinely respecting and listening to the children’s needs. In this loving environment, the children become independent and caring toward one another. I have learned so much here.”
“This is a fantastic day-care, my daughter has been going there for two and a half years and I am really happy with the staff and the centre. I did my research and visited all of the daycare's in Takapuna before deciding on TLS and have not regretted my decision. I was really impressed with the settling in period initially and the fact that they always have primary carers making the transition to the different rooms as she has grown seemless. She has bonded really well with all of the teachers and they are all so great with the children and parents. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this centre.”
