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

“We have been a beststart family since my daughter was a baby in Hamilton a year ago we moved to Auckland so thought we would keep the transition smooth for our the 3 year old daughter. The admin is excellent. The teachers are nurturing and engaged with the children and our daughter - Soon to be going to Primary is thriving and is definitely educated well for a smooth transition into school. Thank you Beststart Dannemora for looking after us!”
“My daughter joined BestStart Dannemora when she was 1 and went right through to the age of 5 when she transitioned into Primary. Everyone here is amazing. From the front desk, to back office, to every teacher in each room. They're welcoming, friendly, caring and work with you to bring out the best in your child. I highly recommend Beststart Dannemora. They're definitely one of, if not the best in the area.”
