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

“My child has been with Learning Tree Hobsonville for almost 3 years now and we are so happy with the centre as a family. From the beginning I felt confident leaving him with the staff who were welcoming and attentive and listened to me as a parent. I really needed my child to feel nurtured and as he has continued to grow we have always felt this from the teachers and management. I really value this place as my child's second home and have no hesitation to recommend it to any families looking for a place to support them with childcare.”
“My daughter was enrolled in Learning tree hobsonville since last year. She has been enjoyed her life there with so many good friends and nice teachers. My younger one also enrolled there after he turned 8 months. He was unbelievably well-cared by the lovely teachers, gaining confidence and new skills much faster than before. I cannot recommend more.”
“We’ve been with learning tree for almost 4 years now for both our kids. We moved from the Albany branch to Hobsonville once that opened and the staff and teachers are excellent. Our kids love the teachers and have made some special connections with the children also. The food always smells great and looks healthy. Whenever we’ve asked for something the staff have always found a way to work with us feel secure and our kids completely at home at the centre.”
