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 Tindalls Garden ECE, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I am so happy that we chose Tindalls Garden for our daughter. Tindalls Garden has the most beautiful learning and playing space and the teachers are brilliant. This centre is huge with so much to offer. She has learnt so much during her time there. She is always happy to go and hard to get her to leave at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this centre for your child. It is a well run organisation all round and 100% dedication from their teachers. Thank you team for all you do - you are amazing x”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Tindalls Garden. The teachers are truly amazing and so kind, caring, and dedicated. They go above and beyond for the children every single day!! They prepare the kids for school really well— my son has grown in confidence, independence, and curiosity since starting here. The kindy itself is beautiful, with real grass and a big open space for the children to run, play, and explore. It’s been perfect for my boy, who absolutely thrives in that environment. The communication with parents is also fantastic. We always feel included and informed about what’s happening, and it’s clear the teachers genuinely care about each child’s wellbeing and development. I can’t recommend this kindy enough, its a special place that gives children the best possible start!”

“We absolutely love Tindalls Garden! The team is amazing, so caring, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. From the babies’ room right through to preschool, they’ve helped our kids learn, grow, and build so much confidence. The preschool program has set them up so well for school, and they go in every day excited and happy. The communication with families is great too. We feel so lucky to have found this centre and couldn’t recommend them more!”

“Amazing daycare. I've had my two boys attend Tindalls Garden, with my youngest there from 18 months old. The teachers and facilities are exceptional, teachers and management going the extra mile in education as well as caring immensely for our kids and us as a family. Our boys have loved the large play area, especially the tennis court. Teachers are also quick to pick up on any needs or extra support your child may need, in doing this our children have been well prepared for school. Would highly recommend Tindalls Garden and thankful my boys have had such a great start to their education.”

“We love Tindalls Garden! We have viewed many ECEs in the area prior to moving to the coast and Tindalls Garden really stood out. The environment was positive, bright and spacious. Plenty of educational opportunities for the children, plenty of play too. Great spaces for children from babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. There's a tennis court at the back which my little one absolutely loves! All of the teachers there are AMAZING! They are attentive, caring, and they truly have the best interests at heart for the children. My little girl has been at her happiest at Tindalls, she has built a great relationship with her teachers and made heaps of good friends. We are also appreciative of the safety gates they have in place to ensure children remain in the centre's. We highly recommend Tindalls Garden ECE! 10/10 ⭐️”
