Fees and funding
Know exactly what you will pay before you commit
We are a licensed early childhood service, so government funding can bring your weekly cost down significantly. We will work it out with you and put it in writing.
No enrolment fee to ask the question.
Funding you may be entitled to
Three ways families reduce their weekly cost
20 Hours ECE
Up to 20 funded hours a week for three, four and five year olds at a licensed service like ours.
WINZ Childcare Subsidy
Work and Income can contribute towards fees depending on your household income and hours.
FamilyBoost rebate
Inland Revenue's rebate on early childhood fees. Keep your invoices and claim it each quarter.
Eligibility is set by government agencies, not by us, but we deal with these every week and will help you work out what applies to your family.
Your written estimate
A real number for your days, not a price list
Fees depend on your child's age and the days you need, so a generic table is not much use. Tell us what you are after and we will send a written estimate with funding applied.
