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 Bear Park Mt Eden, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our boy has been here for about a year now. While this place is more expensive than some, you get what you pay for. In the infants/todler room, the teachers are very caring and kind. Every day we receive notifications about what the children have been doing, food eaten and sleep. Lua, Fran, Mansi, Porshia any of the teachers. They are lovely! 5 stars!”
“This is the worst daycare I have ever been. The sleep room smelled so mouldy. Teachers don’t treat children respectfully, no sunblock before going outside in summer. Children get changed to look clean and tidy before parents arrive. Even sleeping children missed out lunch didn’t get fed on time. It charges so expensive, just so ridiculous. I would never send my child to this daycare. There is no stable team, can see different faces very often,under 2 room doesn’t have enough qualified teachers to guarantee quality care. I found a new place where there is a stable team and more respect , my child is much happier.”
“Bear Park Mt Eden is fantastic! We are so happy with how much our child is learning every week of attendance and how happy and comfortable he is with the teachers and the environment he's in. Everyone's super friendly and helpful and the management team's highly professional. We highly recommend this centre to everyone!”
“The teachers here have got the balance right. They nurture. They teach. They care. They listen. I know every time I drop off my son he will be safe. I also know that when I pick him up he will be happy and healthy - if not a little grubby from the FUN he has had learning! Thanks to the teachers for making this happen!”
“If you want your children to have the best learning experience in their early years, this is the centre to take bring them to. The staff are friendly, professional and experienced. Management is fantastic, and we are always kept informed of everything that's going on at the Centre. We love Bear Park Mt Eden, and I'm sure you will too!”
