Biggles Childcare

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

Parent Reviews
“If I could give Biggles 100 stars, I absolutely would. They weren’t just a daycare, they were a second home to our son. I often referred to one of his teachers as his “daytime mum,” and that’s exactly what she was, along with all the others. The love, care, and genuine attention they gave him was something truly special. A huge thank you to Kita, Nikki (Nini), Xanthe, Beth, Rhea, Laura, Gaynor, and Lisa, you all treated our boy like one of your own, and for that we are forever grateful. We’ve recently moved away, and in searching for a new daycare, it’s become even more clear just how unique and exceptional Biggles is. It’s a rare gem, and one that will be impossible to top.”
“A home away from home for our boy. Ankita, Xanthe, Nikki, Reah, Christie, Beth, Laura, Gaynor and Lisa are the dream team. Our little fellow will always have a family in you and I couldn't be more greatful for the love and care you've shown him. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we will miss you. Terence”
“We will always be grateful for the happy years our son had at Biggles Childcare Glendene. The warmth and care shown by all the teachers, and the owner/manager Marco, isn’t something you can fake. Marco was always flexible and helpful with our shift work, something that really took a weight off our minds. We’re left with wonderful memories and a happy, confident young boy - we strongly recommend them!”
“My daughter absolutely loves this daycare, all the staff are so caring and kind towards our little ones and us as parents, when I take my daughter to Biggles for the day, I leave knowing you she’ll be safe and happy which gives me peace of mind. The owners of Biggles Marco & Lisa are such lovely people and can always work around your needs. There are many activities they do everyday and heaps of messy play! If you are looking for a childcare in the area I would highly recommend Biggles without hesitation ⭐️”
“Our daughter has been attending Biggles for 9 months now. I can honestly say it has been amazing. The teachers are amazing as they always have fun, creative and educational activities that keep the children engaged, learning and most important... having fun :-) There is an open door policy and we can freely discuss any concern regarding behavior, habits and activities with any of the teachers and management. They always listen and assist to the best of their abilities and will go the extra mile. If you are looking for a childcare where you can feel like you are part of the family this is it. Thank you, Biggles and keep up the great work!”
