About Uptown Kids Epsom 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 Uptown Kids Epsom Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Uptown Kids truly is an awesome daycare, the teachers are kind and warm and my daughter is loving her experience at this centre. I would highly recommend this centre. Big should out to Vienna who is such a confident and fun teacher and who has become one of my daughter’s favourite people.”
“It has been 6 months since my daughter finished at Uptown Kids. She still talks about the wonderful memories there and all the friends she made. She started when she was 2 years old and left for primary school when she turned 5. Uptown is a place that values diversity. It is a place where all the cultures are celebrated and welcomed. Teachers are well prepared and deeply care about the needs of each child. Thank you so much Paula, Loree, Talissa, Ana, Vienna and Frank. We will always be grateful to you and treasure the memories Isabel made there.”

“My daughter was just 6 months when she was enrolled in Uptown kids and that is the best decision I have ever made. The teachers are amazing. Play based learning experience is great for developing little minds and they know exactly how to achieve that. Everyday at the centre is full of excitement and experience. My daughter loved every minute of it. Now that she is finally off to primary school she is ready and have the courage and confidence to be a strong little girl in the real world. It’s all thanks to Uptown Kids childcare. So Thank you.”
