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

“The carers at best start are amazing. My daughter absolutely loves going there, often getting out her daycare bag and going to the door in the hope that it’s a daycare day. They’re affectionate, kind and really interact with the kids rather than just minding them. My daughter loves all the messy play opportunities and is so proud of the art she brings home. I don’t just feel comfortable leaving her there, I feel like her life is enriched by the time she spends there.”
“Staff and teachers especially go all out to make you feel immediately welcomed and part of their family. Your child will be reluctant to leave and always will come home feeling they have had the BEST DAY ever. Especially dedicated teachers, caring and highly supportive and efficient at what they do best. Hats off to everyone there.”
