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 Blockhouse Bay Baptist Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We had to urgently put our daughter into daycare due to unforeseen circumstances. The Centre manager was super helpful and accommodating to us and helped to relieve a lot of our stress at the time. My daughter had a great time and made many friends. She loved all of the teachers and would have stories to tell us at the end of each day of fun things they did. We look forward to send our youngest when he’s a bit older to this great facility.”
“My daughter goes to this daycare and she absolutely loves it! The teachers are qualified, super nice and caring. The centre manager also put in a lot of thoughts when running the centre such as ordering snow for the kids to play with or organising eggs to be hatched into little chickens for the kids to experience different forms of life. To be honest, I am very surprised and happy for my daughter to receiving such high quality of early childhood education. I would highly recommend this kindergarten to friends and family!”
“Teachers are very nice and professional, patient with kids, full of love. Kindy is under good management. It is like a big family- highly recommended”
“I must say that this kindergarten is one of the best kindergarten. Teachers are very friendly and creative. My little one loves to go there everyday.”
“You know its a great kindy when the teachers there dont mind drawing and cutting up 20 PJ MASKS in their own time, so the kids get to colour in and make their own masks out of it. Super greatful! Yes definintly the best kindy ever! Plenty of resources, passionate and caring staffs.”
