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

Parent Reviews
“My daughter started biggles when she was just 6 months old , it's been 3 years and she absolutely loves it. The teachers are amazing, full of love and kindness. They have lots of fun filled activities from taking them to the park outside to having spa days, visiting nearby schools for musicals, taking them to see animals etc. The staff and administration aim for the holistic development of the kids enrolled. Biggles truely is a second home for my child.”
“We are so grateful for Biggles - our son has absolutely loved his time there! He started there when he was 10 months old, and he is now 2. He has so many favourite teachers that he loves to tell us all about at home. The teachers put in so much effort and care into what they do - you can especially see it with the huge variety of activities they set up for the kids every day.”

“My son JoJo & granddaughter Kryshyla were the first enrolments at Biggles Henderson before it opened in 2020. JoJo finish from Biggles in April this year heading off to big school, my grandbabies still there. I chose Biggles Henderson because It was very close and handy to my work, then I got to meet the 2 lovely teachers Nimo & Maninda , they were so lovely, friendly, kind & caring and my babies were well looked after. Biggles provides a lot of fun learning activities & I am glad that my children were put into such a loving, supportive learning & safe environment. I strongly recommend Biggles Henderson.”
“The teachers there are by far the best we’ve come across. So friendly and go over and beyond to make our little ones feel safe and comfortable (in particular Nimo and Maninda). The facilities are also top notch, has a nice playground and plenty of toys and learning space for the children. Would recommend Biggles every day of the week :)”
