About Buds and Blooms Childcare 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 Buds and Blooms Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Great childcare centre with wonderful teachers! Special mention to Glory who my daughter absolutely loves. Very clean, tidy space, would recommend Buds and Blooms to anyone.”
“This place was not for my son... he was constanly getting fevers, was off more than he was on and he just wasn't getting the care he needed... I felt there was no relationship built with him, also his bottle I would prepare from the morning would come home unwashed... In my opinion the fee's are high but the quality of care is low, he is doing much better at another daycare.”
“Great facilities & a fun-tastic team. Highly recommended!!”
