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

Parent Reviews
“My daughter has been at the centre for nearly 1 year absolutely love how kind caring and accommodating the staff are. They have been great with her allergies I love the communication about how her day is each day. Best decision I made when I was worried about choosing the right preschool.”
“My niece started when she was 6 months old. She’s now 18 months and still absolutely loves it. Very friendly and accomodating centre.”
“Amazing centre! My 3 year old is a very sensitive wee guy and starting daycare was always going to be a tough transition for him, but they were so accommodating during the settling in process and now he absolutely loves it. Everyone is so kind and caring and he always has so much fun, couldn’t ask for better!”
