About Belmont Bayswater Kindergarten
About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
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 Belmont Bayswater Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My eldest son had difficulty being separated from me (mum) at first but the teacher's did an amazing job making him feel wanted and safe. They also made me feel comfortable leaving him :) he left as confident child with great friends and memories. Now my 2nd son is currently attending and loves it! BBK is a Wonderful Kindy. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend”
“Our boys love being at Belmont Bayswater Kindergarten. The staff are brilliant, kind, highly attentive and most importantly, so much fun! The teachers are all very skilled and experienced educators who are highly attuned to the needs of each child. BBK is an enduring Bayswater institution with great community linkages, which has gifted our children a strong connection to our local community . We are very lucky to have such a wonderful kindy in our neighbourhood!”
“Belmont Bayswater Kindergarten is a large space that provides many learning opportunities for children. The teachers prepare lots of activities and resources that suit a range of interests. The staff are warm, kind and enthusiastic about what they do. The kindy is well organised and the children are clear about their daily routines. BBK also work hard to create a real sense of community and work collaboratively with parents to nurture and challenge each child in their care. Our child has been very happy during her time at BBK. Thank you for all you do!”
“BBK is a wonderful, fun & all around fantastic kindergarten. The love & care shown by the teachers is exceptional. The outdoor grounds & indoor area cater to all interests a child may show- I sometimes wish I could stay & play! I have no hesitation recommending this kindergarten, the amazing teachers & support staff. Would give them more than 5 stars if I could! (They even have a lending library for grown ups at the front gate!)”
“I can't sing the praises of Belmont Bayswater Kindy enough. The teachers understand and have a genuine interest in their student's wellbeing and development. The centre itself is completely set up for active, curious kids with different activities and equipment to engage your child. If Kindy hours can work for you, I'd completely recommend BBK.”
