Bunnies Childcare and Preschool

About Bunnies Childcare and Preschool
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 Bunnies Childcare and Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our boys absolutely loved their time at Bunnies Pre School. The caring kaiako, fun learning environment, and strong focus on early development have helped them grow in confidence and curiosity. Such a big space with plenty of creative activities. We’re so thankful for the support and aroha shown to our boys during their time here. Highly recommend”
“My grandchildren go to Bunnies and I love going to collect them. The teachers are warm and friendly, and the kids are engaged. Coming from an education background I am very impressed to see them learning and thriving - from cooking and gardening to learning science and age appropriate math's and they have so much fun.”
“We moved to Cambridge New Zealand from the uk not knowing anyone and luckily found bunnies. They have provided our family with a base of friends and community. We have nothing but positive feedback for every member of staff. The care provided is second to non our boys have blossomed through their time at bunnies. I would 100% recommend bunnies if you are looking for someone to care for your prize possessions this is the place.”
“My daughter started at Bunnies just as she turned 1, and 4 years later she had transitioned through all three rooms from childcare (baby/toddler) to Pre-School, including around a covid lockdown! It has been really wonderful time for all of us- parents included. We really can't get over how amazing Bunnies is (and compared to other centers!) - their structures in place, teachers, staff, & enrichment are absolutely wonderful! I know that my daughter had thoroughly enjoyed her time, and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, enriching environment for their child(ren). Thanks Bunnies - we miss you already!”
“Bunnies currently serves as both my workplace and education provider for my son. When I went for my first visit 2 years ago, I was impressed by the size of the learning environment and the welcoming atmosphere. But I knew I wanted to stay after talking with the people there. The staff are friendly, they listen and are supportive of every child and family that walk through their door. It is a place that inspires me everyday as a teacher. I love that I can watch my son grow and develop before my eyes, guided by incredible teachers who have taken the time to know him. Bunnies is a place you've got to see for yourself, to truly appreciate everything that makes it special.”
