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 Vintage Kids - Point Chevalier, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“So thankful to the wonderful teachers at this daycare who made such a positive impact on our son.”
“Our son has been to a few daycares. None of them come anywhere close to Vintage Kids. Yes, the teacher-to-child ratio is great. Yes, the teachers are excellent at engaging the kids in fun activities. And yes, the food is next-level (healthier and more delicious than what most adults eat). But it’s Vintage Kids' belief in the power of storytelling that makes this place magic. Every day, the kids gather around a teacher who tells an interactive story, with the children helping to act it out using different props. I was surprised to see such young children so deeply engrossed in a story. And on a child’s birthday, they reach out to parents to gather intel and create a special story just for them. This is no small undertaking. The teachers are master storytellers who clearly put time and care into their preparation. We had the pleasure of attending our son’s birthday story and it was a beautiful thing to see. He sat there beaming with joy as the friends and teachers he has grown to love put on a performance featuring all of his current interests - including pedal bikes, electric guitars, diggers, foxes, and Mum. After the story, each child presented him with a handmade birthday card. Then they sang for him. It was so wholesome that dad found himself fighting back tears. We’ve noticed a big difference in our son since he started attending Vintage Kids. He’s become more articulate and curious. He’s even started telling his own made-up stories at bedtime. Some of them are actually pretty good. We are deeply thankful to the caring and attentive teachers who always made our son feel comfortable and happy. Unlike with other daycares, he never kicked up a fuss when we dropped him off. And he was always excited to tell us about his day. Unfortunately, we had to move house and change daycares once again. But I’m sure Vintage Kids has sparked an interest in storytelling in our son that will last a lifetime.”
“I attempted to enroll my son here, but the administration gave me the runaround. The admin lady seems overworked and disorganized, unable to schedule viewings within a reasonable timeframe due to her frequent movement between three venues and being”to busy”. Her email communication has been subpar, with a two-week delay in responding to our email after wait on her after our viewing, which we only received after leaving a voicemail ask. This has put my husband and me in an awkward position, with our enrollment deadline looming. The level of customer service is unacceptable, and it's clear that the admin lady needs additional support. As this is not a good experience, And is a really big red flag and very sad.”
“Vintage Kids is a highly professional kindergarten with a genuinely nurturing and welcoming atmosphere. Storytelling is central and provides a bases for exploration and learning. The physical environment is warm and clean and always smells good! The food is amazing, but most importantly the staff are always engaged, attentive and available. Vintage Kids are lucky kids!”
