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 Barnardos Early Learning Centre Manurewa, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Barnardos Manurewa is an incredible daycare. The teachers are loving, welcoming and always having the children's educational needs front of mind. They have a very clean facility and maintain a high standard of safety for the children too. Best daycare in South Auckland for sure!”
“My boys (Hellios & Vitalis) enjoyed this daycare very much. I am also very happy with everything they are doing. Teachers welcome parents and children with smiles and encourage the child to stay. My boys can stay up to 6 hrs / day, 5 days for free, including 3 free meals a day. Very clean and well organized. It was sad because we moved to North Shore closer to where my husband works, but Barnardos was the best. Thanks, Susan and Lou, and all the team for your best service. Keep it up 👍❤️”
“I would highly recommend this daycare to parents. The staff members are attentive to my child. The children are amazing and taught how to care for the younger ones. I believe the ratio capacity for under 2s is GREAT! Because I leave knowing that my child will be receiving the attention that she requires in that space. I like the diversity amongst the staff, me knowing that my child will be exposed to many cultures. Thank you for being an amazing centre.”
