About Blooming Buds Early Learning Centre
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 Blooming Buds Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We are thrilled enrolling our child at this Day Care. From day one, the experience has been outstanding. The teachers are incredibly professional and attentive, creating a warm and structured environment that our child has quickly grown to love. The space itself is bright, clean, and thoughtfully set up with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. Plus, the food provided is nutritious and child-friendly, which gives us added peace of mind. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this day care. It's made a real difference for our family.”
“Our son has been at Blooming Buds for about three months now and he’s absolutely loving it! The centre has great facilities and lovely, caring teachers. I’ve noticed incredible growth and development in Kobi since he started - he’s become more confident, social, and curious. We’re so happy to have found a place where he feels safe and excited to learn every day. Highly recommend!”
“Our daughter has been at blooming buds New Lynn for a month and has settled in so well, such an amazing space with heaps beautiful toys and lovely team of teachers. Would highly recommend :)”
“My child started attending blooming buds Newlynn in June, and we’ve had such a positive experience since day one. The environment is warm, welcoming, and filled with joy. We can truly feel the happiness as soon as we walk in. We are especially grateful to Shirley, who took such gentle care of my baby during the early days. She held her, comforted her, and helped her feel safe until she was fully settled — something that meant the world to us as parents. All the teachers are amazing — kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the children’s development. One thing I really appreciate is how they post updates every day on Storypark. It’s such a relief as a parent to see your child smiling, engaged, and learning new things everyday.No parent’s guilt when you see how happy and settled they are! The in-house meals are another big plus — the food is always healthy and well-balanced, and I feel confident knowing my child is eating nutritious meals every day. A big thank you to Reetu, Trisha, Helen, chen, Shirley and the rest of the team for creating such a nurturing and supportive space. We feel very lucky to be part of this daycare.”
“Absolutely wonderful daycare! From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly warm and welcoming. Our baby had a tough time adjusting for weeks but the way teachers supported him was so touching-often carrying him in their arms to comfort him. Now he is thriving, smiling every day and excited to go in the morning. The in-house chef is a huge plus - meals are healthy and fresh as per his dietary requirements. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing environment.”
