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 Blossoms Educare Riverina, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“My boy has started at Barnardos Pakuranga since he was 8 months old, he is 14 months now and loving it! He’s learnt a lot from all the teachers here, Dona and Tracey have been amazing with him as well as the other baby’s that come here. It’s a safe and caring environment where the babies learn so much! My boy loves coming here and it’s always a fight to take him home! We can’t wait to see our boy learn so many new things! Thank you to all teachers and staff here!”
“I really love how my daughter is becoming. She learn alot of things and she develops her communication skills since English is our 2nd language. And we notice that she is very happy everyday going to the centre and making friends & playing with them. And the teachers? They are all amazing, kind, caring & loving. They treat us like family. Really recommend them. 👌”
“We have been with Barnardos Pakuranga since my first daughter was a baby, and it has been such a wonderful journey. The care and attention she received from teachers were exceptional. They truly went above and beyond to ensure she felt loved and supported. Now that she’s in the toddler space, it’s heartwarming to see her enjoying her time and thriving in this nurturing environment. We’re so confident in the care provided here that we’ll be enrolling our second baby soon. Thank you to all the amazing teachers for creating such a positive and loving space for our children! Highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a caring and safe place for their little ones.”
“We have 3 young ones and they all love Barnardos Pakuranga! The teachers are amazing and caring towards all children ❤️ the centre lead is super flexible, understanding and caring when things come up and you need to pick the kids up later or drop them off earlier”
