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 Tui Early Learners Nestlings/Fledglings, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Tui has been amazing helping my 4 year old settle into moving to Palmerston. Straight away she made great friends, felt comfortable with all the teachers and she can't wait to get there! Communication is fantastic between all the staff and parents. And I love the nature explorers program. Couldn't ask for a better place for my daughter to be.”
“Amazing and lovely staff! My eldest daughter went to tui and 8 years later my youngest is there too. The teachers don't only support the children learn and grow they give awesome support to everyone in their Tui families. I can't recommend them enough! My daughter looks forward to Tui every day and asks when we are leaving. Now she is at fledglings she asks regularaly to visit nestlings and visit "my kafren", Kathryn is an amazing teacher and was like a second mum to my girl when I couldn't be with her. This made going to work that much easier! I can't thank Kathryn and the team enough for all they do!”
“My child loves this place, she always looks forward to going here and thoroughly enjoys their Park Rangers programme and experiencing nature more. Couldn't recommend them enough, definitely quality care. The staff are always welcoming, warm and nurturing and ratios are low which is reassuring. There is so much to do and it is quite a natural environment.”
“My son has been part of the Tui family for over two years. The teachers are A1!! Caring and motivated. Great staff stability, very few changes in teachers. Always on the ball with where your child is at. Don't hesitate to highly recommend. Thanks ladies we couldn't be happier 😊⭐️”
“Very happy with Tui Early Learners! Debbie is fantastic to deal with and very flexible with hours etc. My son has easily transitioned into the centre and the team at Tui have made everything so easy. Love hearing all his stories and songs from daycare :-)”
