Children learning through play at Geckos Childcare Centres

Every family’s childcare needs are different, so we prefer to discuss fees personally rather than publish a one-size-fits-all price list.

When you visit Geckos Childcare Centres, we’ll take the time to understand the care you need, explain the relevant options clearly and provide current fee information for your family.

Geckos Childcare Fees

Your fees will depend on factors such as:

  • Your child’s age

  • The number of days they attend each week

  • The hours of care required each day

  • Any government funding or other support available to your family

20 Hours ECE

Eligible children aged 3 to 5 at Big Geckos can receive 20 Hours ECE. This government funding can significantly reduce the cost of early childhood education. We’ll explain how 20 Hours ECE may apply to your preferred attendance schedule when you visit.

We offer 20 Hours ECE funding for all eligible children aged 3 to 5 years.

This subsidy is provided by the Ministry of Education and is designed to make high-quality early childhood education more accessible for New Zealand families.

By reducing the cost of up to 20 hours per week, we aim to support your child's learning journey and provide them with the best start in their formative years.
