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

“Compassionate, fun teachers caring for and teaching our little girl and all the kids as if they were their own. Laughter, learning and growing. New Beginnings is such a wonderful ECE centre.”
“New Beginnings has been absolutely amazing for my son! He has been there for 18 months and loves it! They're so caring and family oriented (that's really important to us) Enrolling my 15 month old there soon and I'm sure he will love it just as much as his older brother does.”
“Absolutely love this centre and my boy loves going. All the teachers are wonderful, caring and are so observant with every child. They all encourage the children to do what they're passionate about individually and take time to document and share this with the families. Can't recommend enough ❤️”
“I definitely recommend New Beginnings! The team are so caring and supportive and go over and beyond to ensure our Tamariki are happy. The New Beginnings Team have become our extended Whanau and we cannot recommend them enough.”
