About Busby Street Early Learning 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 Busby Street Early Learning Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Highly recommend. The team are so caring and lovely to deal with. Allie communicates really well and overall a great place to send baby to!”
“I’ve sent both my girls to Busby over the last 2 years and it’s been the best decision for our family. Not only do our girls absolutely love the staff, us as parents, have also formed an amazing bond with the teachers. We really couldn’t ask for a better daycare. Alexia and Allie have been so easy to deal with and they create such engaging activities for the kids. Both my girls have learnt so much and absolutely love going. It’s very comforting to know the girls are always in good hands. I can’t thank all the staff enough.”
“Sending our daughter here had been the best decision ever. Looking forward to send our baby boy soon. The teachers here are amazing. They are very caring and they communicate really well especially with what’s going on with your little one.”
“Both my children attended Busby Childcare. What I loved about it was it felt like an extension of our family where they attended with the teachers caring as much about our kids as we did. The large backyard with real grass and big trees was also another big attraction with many new daycares with little or no outdoors areas, and only fake lawns. If you are looking for a home away from home to care for your kids then look no further this is your daycare.”
“One of the best childcare establishment in our community, the care and love of the early childhood teachers/carers here are hands down the BEST!!! Our son had just graduated and will always recommend Busby childcare to friends and family. Your child/children will learn soo much and be cared for & loved here.”
