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

“We have used the center in the past for our eldest child but unfortunately had to change it for a time. Now, we have returned, this time with our younger child as well. The center is highly flexible in accommodating our work schedule, always ready to assist, and most importantly, our son loves going there.”

“Have been with this center for 4 years. My kids love it here & it has a fabulous outdoor space.”
“Amazing kindy. The teachers are awesome and really committed to the kids growth and development. A huge outdoor area with actual grass (a nice change from some of the other centers), plenty of toys, cool events for the kids over the holidays, and a whanau garden that helps supply vegetables for morning teas. It makes me feel at ease knowing my kids are happy and safe during the day.”
