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 Busy Bees Hardy Street, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“A fabulous, homely and welcoming environment for babies and kids to learn and grow. We couldn't be happier sending our son to Hardykids.”
“I have nothing but praise for hardykids! You took our daughter in like a child of your own and taught her all the things we could have ever asked. She has blossomed into this wee independent child and that's in part THANKS TO YOU! Hardykids will always be a home away from home for our wee family. Much love - Emmy and her parents.”
