Outside a new childcare centre in Punggol, a huge line of parents stretched out from the day before registrations first opened.

The new childcare centre is located at Block 614A Edgefield Plains in Punggol, a new estate where many young couples with young children live.

The demand for childcare centres in this estate are high and EtonHouse International, the firm in charge of the provision of several new childcare centres in the heartlands was urged to review its registration process.

Registrations for its newest childcare centre opened at 9am on Saturday but some parents, who were desperate to get their children enrolled, started queuing up from 10am the day before.

By 11pm, over 130 parents had lined up and the queue stretched out for several metres down the covered walkways.

Those queuing up had brought chairs, water, snack and even extension cords to charge their phones so that they could use them while they waited.
EtonHouse and its subsidiary, E-Bridge, are just some of the childcare providers that get priority to make childcare centres in the heartlands on the condition that prices are kept low.
