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

“I sent my son to this beautiful daycare and we have had such a positive experience. The outdoor area is amazing spacious, safe, and filled with opportunities for play and discovery. The teachers are truly wonderful, they are warm, caring, and attentive to the children’s needs. I always felt reassured that my son was well taken care of and supported in his learning and development. We are so grateful to be part of the BestStart Everglade Babies whānau.”
“BestStart Everglade Babies is the most loving, welcoming centre! The manager and teachers go above and beyond to care for the kids and support parents. They’ve looked after two of my babies and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Truly feels like a second home! 💕”
“Wonderful Centre with kind and caring teachers. Our son has settled in so quickly and we are really happy knowing he is in a caring and fun environment during the day. Highly recommend this Centre.”
“Highly recommend this daycare for all. It is a lovely little family that takes such good care of our little babies. Our second child is now going here after his older sister loved it so much. We are so grateful to have such quality childcare available to us!”
“My son attended Everglade babies from 6 months old and all I can say is that they are absolutely amazing! They are so nurturing and caring that I felt so safe and secure that my son was in the best care. This really helped with me returning back to work and the guilt that I had leaving him. My son has developed so much during his time at the centre and I have loved how informed I have been of his milestones through photos and stories. Thank you team. I am forever grateful!! If you are looking for a centre you must go there!”
