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

They have been incredibly kind, patient, and supportive every single day. Thank you all for your hard work, your warmth, and the positive environment you create. We’re so grateful to be part of such an amazing community. 💖”
“My daughter stayed at BestStart Remuera for the past 3.5 years. Teachers here are caring and supportive. Center manager MayLin is professional and easy communication. Teacher Deborah treated my daughter as her own. Other teachers are also so good to the children. They provide a warm, safe and happy environment. My girl graduated today. She had a great time, learnt a lot and made many friends here. I want to say we definitely made the right choice. Thank you again to all BestStart Remuera teachers.”
“Extremely happy with the cares my baby received at Best Start Remuera. The Centre manager as well as all the staffs are so kind and they nurture kids like their own. The staffs were really diligent about my baby’s food allergies. Thank you very much to all teachers for all your hard work. It means a lot to us. Highly appreciated.”
“I would say I am blessed to have my son at this day care. His development in several field is evident to us. Have had excellent admin and teaching support so far. The staff here have accommodated my child's cultural and dietary requirements very well. Highly recommend this day care. Thanks to all the teachers, specially Mrs. Lie, Cherry, Surena, Yolanda, May and Kenzie.”
“We have our son (4y) and daughter (1.5y) at BestStart Remuera road. I really feel like we hit the jackpot with this daycare. There is a real focus on our daughter's development in the baby room. They really care about her and she loves going everyday. I have noticed her recently excelling in her speech and even has started identifying colours. I was so nervous at first as it took her a while to settle – the staff were calm and reassured me of what is normal and I'm glad to now see her toddle in willingly! In the 2y and over room it's mixed ages like that of Kindergarten and they have started a "school ready" program for the 4y+ preschoolers. I feel like my own IQ has been bolstered by what my son has learnt over the past few months. He knows so much about the solar system and has started writing his name. The expertise the teachers here bring is definitely more than I ever hoped for. More than happy with Remuera Road!”
