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 Bambinos Early Childhood Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We had a wonderful experience with Bambinos! Our baby attended for 7 months, and during that time, we felt truly supported and reassured as parents. The staff are incredibly caring, professional, and attentive—they created a warm and safe environment where our little one thrived. Even though we've now moved to another area, we’re so grateful for the time we had with the daycare. Our baby grew so much socially and developmentally, and we always appreciated the regular updates and open communication.”

“Our son Darby attended Bambinos Early Childhood Centre for four years. Bambinos offers an excellent range of engaging activities and thoughtful care. He was able to develop trusting relationships with both his teachers and the other children. It was always so reassuring to know that while at daycare, he was happy, engaged, and safe. We’re so grateful to the team at Bambinos for giving Darby such a positive start with his early learning.”

“At only 4 months my baby joined Bambinos and it felt like I was keeping a piece of my heart in the daycare. Trupti and Pramila nourished her. Soon my daughter was familiar with all the daycare teachers and it was a safe place for her and for me. She moved from baby’s to become a toddler and a preschooler in Bambinos. Not even one day passed when she wanted to come home after the daycare. It’s a saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Well, with my parents being overseas, Bambinos is my whanau! And Keti and her team will always hold that place in our lives. My daughter started school and she is a confident little school kid and already prepared to start her day! I am proud of her and a big credit of her upbringing, socialising and skills goes to Bambinos. With a heavy heart I want to bid goodbye to the team. Cheers🤗”

“Great space, playground with a solid sun shade, veggie garden where kids learn how to care for plants, reading corner, artwork area, warm and welcoming environment, experienced and engaged teachers- what more could a parent want for their child? We really liked how multicultural it was, with all different traditions and holidays celebrated equally, as that is the real image of New Zealand. We were very happy with Bambinos and our son, who is now 5, settled well in school, and surely this great daycare helped a lot in building his confidence and social skills. I can only highly recommend it!”
