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

Parent Reviews
“My son was here from 1.5 years old. I wholeheartedly recommend Te Atatu South childcare. It has a family vibe and feels like a 2nd home for our son. Really appreciate all the activities the centre organised to help transition our little one to primary school. Now my son is in primary school and I know he has a good foundation to continue his learning journey. Thank you!”
“My son attended te Atatu south childcare from the age of 1-5. I couldn’t have asked for better care of my son through that time. All the teachers are amazing and formed such special bonds with my son and always catering to exactly what he needed at any given time. He truly felt like it was his second home. Delish cooked meals which gave me peace of mind knowing my son was well fed and looked after. The lead up to school was amazing, not only for my son but also for myself. We will really miss this centre, highly recommend”
“Our daughter attended Te Atatu South Childcare from ages 3 to 5, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and love she received. As a Samoan/Māori family, we especially appreciated the centre’s enthusiasm for Pacific language weeks and celebrating diversity across the centre. The environment is clean, the teachers are highly experienced and nurturing, and the daily meals are both healthy and delicious. 🥰 With engaging activities and a strong sense of community, our daughter transitioned smoothly to primary school and we strongly credit Te Atatu Childcare Centre for this. Highly recommend for families seeking a welcoming, home-like childcare centre!”
“Our son started Te Atatu South Childcare at 14 months and has now graduated at 5-years-old. We can highly recommend this Centre, the staff are caring, trustworthy and fun loving. They provide a very stimulating environment with books, games, education, outdoor play, cultural theme days, shared food days and more. They kept us well informed of our son’s activities, social interaction and learning via an app and in person. Our son is now very well prepared for the next stage of his life at primary school.”
