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

Parent Reviews
“I recently participated in an evacuation drill at the daycare. My great grand daughter had relocated to a new area of the daycare, and whilst signing her in the alarm sounded. The staff immediately gathered the children and in an orderly fashion assembled at the assembly/staging area where they were all checked by multiple staff. I am a retired firefighter/training officer and I am impressed by the standard of care that I saw, well done and keep up the good work.”
“I am giving a 10/10 rating to my child's childcare center for several reasons. Firstly, the center boasts a team of highly qualified and passionate staff who create a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive in. They offer a diverse range of engaging activities that stimulate learning and development while ensuring each child's individual needs are met. Communication with parents is exceptional, keeping us informed about our child's progress and activities. Moreover, the center prioritizes nutrition and cleanliness, providing nutritious meals and maintaining high hygiene standards. Their flexibility and community involvement further demonstrate their commitment to providing top-notch childcare. Overall, I am confident in the center's ability to care for my child and support their growth, making it deserving of a perfect score.”
