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

Parent Reviews
“Our whānau have been at this kindy for coming up 7 years now! All 3 of my kids have been in attendance here and we’ll honestly never go anywhere else if we decided to have a 4th!! The manaakitanga is unmatched here from all the staff. My 2 older kids are also diagnosed Autistic and the teachers here at Seymour Road went above and beyond to not only get extra help on board for my kids, but they also took the time to upskill their knowledge on disability just to cater to my boys and other kids alike! I’m grateful for this kindy and would highly recommend to other parents looking for a kindy that’s inclusive and diverse ❤️”
“We have had such a wonderful experience with this kindy. The teachers are amazing – so attentive, loving, and kind. They truly care about the children and create such a safe, happy, and welcoming environment. Both of my boys have attended and they have absolutely thrived here, and I couldn’t recommend them more. We are so grateful for everything they have done!”
“I really like this daycare because all the teachers are kind, caring, and truly love the children. I always feel safe and comfortable leaving my child here, knowing they are well looked after. I’m very happy with the care provided”
“I had 2 kids attending Best Start Sunnyvale (one currently still there) and I couldn't recommend the Centre more! The staff are amazing and run the place to a high standard. The way they interact with kids is so very special. Both of my sons loved and going there.”
“This kindergarten is 100% amazing. Could not be happier with the young ladies my daughters are turning into. The whole team is amazing and are always there to help. If you want a safe, caring environment where the staff make sure you and your kids feel the love and joy. I would 100% recommend Best Starts on Seymour Rd. Thanks to the whole team.”
