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 Bright Horizons Drury, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Bright Horizons has been more to me than a childcare centre where i drop my child off and leave. It has been part of our whānau, the entire team are amazing people that absolutely care about your child. I have had the pleasure of experiencing the love and kindness for the past two years and although it will eventually come to end our time there, I will forever be grateful for our time there. The teachers just adore my daughter and in return she feels loved, safe, supported which then in return brings me comfort. I am thankful we made the decision to enrol at Bright Horizons, it quite literally is a hidden gem. The conversations, interactions, daily stories are consistant and really makes a big difference! Thank you for everything Bright Horizons, you are the truly best!”

“Both of our daughters attended Bright Horizons and I could not rate this place highly enough. A very typical kiwi and rural like space (which I was looking for) and the level of care provided by each one of those amazing ladies (and the Chef) was always above and beyond. Already a great space for my first daughter and then with mostly a full staff change as my second daughter started, a new head teacher Neece came in and overhauled the entire space to an ever better environment! To have full trust in these educators and know that they genuinely care and love your children (and for you as a parent) there is absolutely no better place to send them. We are so grateful for your incredible impact into the beginning of our daughters education journey. Janelle, Adam, Sienna & Skye”

“We had a wonderful experience with Bright Horizon! The educators are truly caring and attentive, and my son always felt safe and happy there. The center has a spacious layout with lots of different areas for the children to explore, learn, and play. There’s a great mix of indoor and outdoor activities that really kept my son engaged and excited to go every day. We’re so grateful for the support and care provided during our time there.”

“Our daughter has been here for the last 3 years and it is by far the best daycare in the area. We looked at so many centres before enrolling her here and when we came to Bright Horizons it just felt so comfortable and everyone was so friendly and accommodating, we knew it was the one for us. The staff are amazing and go above & beyond to care for her. We really feel like they treat her like their own and as a parent, that is all you want 🥰 Would 100% recommend Bright Horizons to anyone! 😊”
