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

Parent Reviews
“Absolutely one of the best nurseries in christchurch. My child was already so excited to go in and always had the brightest smile on her face when seeing the teachers. Sadly, we had to leave due to it being the wrong side of town but would recommend this nursery to anyone, especially the baby room.”
“Since my grand daughter has attended Best Start, she has developed learning skills, communication skills and gained new friends and also learning positive cooperative skills with her peers. The staff are really kind and supportive to my grand daughter as well as the children there. I highly recommend Best Start. Great work Team. Our children are blessed to have you looking after them.”
“We are a month in from starting but this isn’t including the stretched settling in time that we took- I am incredibly grateful to the team and know that my little one adores them, making it so much easier to leave her there knowing she is having such a great time”
“My son is currently in the nursery at BestStart Warrington. My wife and I are very pleased with the care he receives. He is always in a good mood when we pick him up and seems to be having fun playing with his new friends.”
“The staffs are very friendly, caring and quite experienced. Our little one loves being there as the atmosphere is good. Staffs are really good and they are taking care of our baby quite well. Keep up the good work Team Beststart Warrington.”
