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

“My son has been coming to this daycare since he was 6 months old & he’s now 4. My other son who’s 22 months also attends. I have always found the staff to be so caring, attentive and kind to the boys & my family. With my own family being overseas, the staff have often gone above and beyond to look after my boys & my family & they feel like “family” to me. It’s a very loving & nurturing environment for my boys & they get to have so many learning opportunities, do fun & engaging activities & take part in so many cultural festivities. The staff work really hard & really care about our boys & the children at the centre. I would thoroughly recommend this centre & the lovely staff.”

“My 5 year old boy had been with BestStart Wolverton since he was 2 right up to his preparation for Primary school. He loved it and was always excited to go school! My daughter is currently attending in LITTLE HUIA and loves every minute being with her friends and teachers!! All staff members are lovely and friendly. Always helpful and will take good care of your bubbas. Teachers will always update parents on daily bases of notices, routines and activities on StoryPark which I love the most!! Always love seeing what my daughter gets up to from Monday to Friday while I'm busy at work. 🥰 They will not disappoint you! Highly recommend!! Thank you BestStart Wolverton ❤”

“I have recommended this wonderful and extraordinary team to everyone that I have meet who is looking for infant, toddler and preschool care! The team is so helpful, friendly and understanding. I am so grateful for the short time that my daughter was there, the staff help her blossom and become school ready, with her development of her writing, numeracy and literacy skills dramatically increasing. My son is thriving with the connection to teachers and enjoying the social environment of making friends, showing caring and compassion in a warm and loving atmosphere. Discovering new and exciting things from festivals to farm animals, dinosaurs to nature exploring. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!”

“My god daughter has been attending Topkids Avondale for just under 2 years now, and she absolutely loves it. Each morning she looks forward to coming to 'her school' and becomes quite excited when the Daycare comes into view when on our way in. She quite happily puts her bag on her back and skips to her room - way too cute. She attempts to communicate so much more and uses her words which is so exciting. Her bond that she has with her teachers and classmates is awesome and makes one feel that the choice we have made of having her attend TopKids Avondale, has been a good one!”
