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

Parent Reviews
“Both of our son and daughter spent the early years of their lives at Bambinos Early Childhood Centre in Manukau, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start. From day one, they were welcomed into a caring, nurturing, and fun environment where they thrived both socially and intellectually. The teachers are absolutely wonderful – warm, patient, and dedicated to helping each child grow. We noticed such a big difference in our kids’ confidence, learning, and social skills since starting here. They made lots of great friends and always came home happy, excited to share what they had learned or experienced that day. We especially appreciated the regular updates on their progress, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to share in their milestones. The daycare also offers a wide range of cultural and social activities that really encouraged compassion, acceptance, and understanding of others – something we deeply value. The only reason we left was because we moved away from the area two months ago. But to this day, our son still talks about how much he misses his friends and teachers there (and we are certain our daughter would be saying the same thing, if she were at talking age!), which really says it all about how special this place is. We are so grateful for the love and care our children received here, and we couldn’t recommend Bambinos Early Childhood Centre in Manukau more highly to any family looking for a supportive and enriching early learning environment.”
“Writing a review is the least can i do for the centre. My younger son graduated from here last week. We have a relationship with this daycare since 2019. Both my kids graduated from here. Very professional and friendly in all the ways. We saw 7 daycares before choosing this one. And we are very happy with how our boys have graduated. They spent some quality time with friends and teachers in the centre. Very thankful to all the teachers and staff :)”
“My brother has just graduated today and it was amazing the amount of aroha & effort they put into our tamariki is so amazing I would recommend bambino’s 100% great teachers and a awesome learning experience for myself and my brother. Bambino’s welcomed us in like whanau and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Definitely recommend”
“My wife and I sent our son to Bambinos when he turned 3. Riyansh loved it from the get go. Over the 2 years many teachers at Bambinos have changed and the new teachers here now have brought in new methods and techniques which Riyansh enjoys alot and looks forward to goin 2 bambinos every single day. I would like to personally thank Geralyn, Rihana, Yasmin, Abdul and the other teachers who have looked after Riyansh during his time there. They all have given very good feedback about his abilities. I would highly recommend anyone who is in close proximity to bambinos to send their kids there. We live in Takanini and still sent riyansh to manukau bambinos and it was well worth it. 5 star for the early childhood teaching they provide. Thank you Rish and Sonam Maharaj”
“I cannot recommend Bambinos enough! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff truly cares about the well-being and development of each child. I love the fact that they acknowledge every ethnicity and celebrate festivals from all cultures with the kids, allowing them to learn diversity. The facilities are clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities. I feel confident leaving my child in their care, knowing they're in good hands. Thank you, Bambinos for providing such a nurturing and enriching experience for my son! Kind regards, Sheron Sen”
