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

Parent Reviews
“All staff are good.”
“All the staff are welcoming and great to deal with. My son is always well taken care of and I couldn’t recommend the centre more.”
“Great centre, teachers are professional and kind to the kids. Everytime I drop off a teacher makes the effort to comfort and settle my 2 year old in. Great facilities.”
“Would highly recommend beststart wainoni. I have had 2 children go through here with 1 still enrolled. Lovely caring teachers, clean facility and my children just love going here, their independence has grown since starting.”
“Edukids Wainoni have been like a second family for my children over the past 5 years. The team are all so amazing with my children and offer lots of support. My children have made life long friends and love their teachers. The class rooms are great in the way that children transition through as they get older. My daughter has since left to start her first year of Primary School and she misses it here and looks forward to picking her brother up after school so she can see everyone. It will be a truly sad day when my son leaves to start his first year of Primary School next year.”
