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

“During my daughter's first time at school, I saw her happiness and her visible attitude at school, along with the happy smiles and kindness of the teachers who convey an important and useful message to the children. The school is nice and good, and everything is safe. I feel inspired by the changes in my daughter from the first day she entered. Thank you also to the teachers for your hard work with the children, I know it is not easy but I hope everything is in the Lord. I hope to have more good news moving forward, especially in the future. May the Lord bless your duties.❤️”

“A place which was second home for my daughter. She started in 2020 and a graduated in 2025... A long journey with the best teachers who not only understands the child but supports Parents as well. From crawling to standing and then running with lots of fun, learning, exploring and developing with trustworthy teachers, this is how our daughter's journey was. Special thanks to all the teachers Henny, Aman, Maddi, Asha, Alpana, Raheena, Ronita, Kajal, Mau, Anita and last but not least Gazelle for your continuous support. Highly recommended childcare to everyone... Thanks Swapnil and Nitika”
