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 Bumblebees and Buttercups, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our toddlers have attended B&B since the doors opened and they love it! Lots of learning, exploring, lots of fun times, great teachers and an inclusive community feel. Purpose built, modern environment, highly recommend”
“B&B is a wonderful, warm and vibrant centre with lovely, professional kaiako. It's well managed with modern facilities and great outdoor spaces. My child loves being there and often doesn't want to leave at the end of the day.”
“Our daughter has been going since she was 8 months old and loves this place! The teachers in both infants and toddlers have been amazing- all have such a great relationship with our daughter and also enjoy a laugh with us as parents. They really care and you can see this daily! 💕 She learns so much but also has so much fun every day.”
“As a kaiako and a parent at B&B I can share that this has been by far the best daycare, the staff go above and beyond for all tamariki. If you want your child to feel safe and nutured this is the place to be, my son adores his kaiako and I feel humbled that he is so loved and all his needs are met. 100% recommend 👌”
“Bumblebees and Buttercups Daycare has been a lovely experience for our 4-month-old daughter! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made it clear that this place is all about nurturing little ones. A key driver for a selecting them was the cleanliness of the centre, and how friendly the staff are! Since joining staff have been incredibly friendly and helpful. Our daughter has been super happy there and has been the nap queen- making this transition significantly easier for our family! Highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing daycare!”
