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 Turua, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Such a beautiful centre with such lovely teachers!”
“My children have both started at barnardos as Under 1s - they have settled in well, the atmosphere is inviting and engaging. We can notice at home what they learn here such as colours, counting etc. They are building great friendships and the teachers are brilliant, so involved and down to earth. Highly recommend this centre.”
