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

Parent Reviews
“Our daughter attended the nursery for a few months before we moved out of Auckland and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care she received. The teachers felt like family..they were warm, patient and genuinely caring. They also kept us updated with everything which made us feel even more at ease. The team was incredibly flexible and easy to deal with. The manager Kumi was very understanding and considerate and the nursery staff, especially Maria and the two lovely girls in her team always took such great care of our daughter. They were attentive, gentle and very thoughtful, and we always felt confident leaving our little one with them. She was always happy going to daycare and absolutely loved being around her teachers. Before attending, she was very picky and didn’t go to anyone, but with their guidance and nurturing environment, she became more social, confident, and always smiling. We are sad that she will miss all her wonderful teachers but if we ever had to choose again, we would re-enrol her without hesitation. We are forever grateful for the love and care they’ve given our daughter. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of her early journey. 💕”
“Bery Friendly Team down there. They look after the kids. I had both my daughters down there. No problem whatsoever. Good service and good pricing as well”
“My daughter loves her teacher in the toddlers room. Her favourite teacher was Dainuki. She is an amazing teacher that I had come across. I would hear positive words and encouragement from my daughter when she comes home. I am happy knowing that my daughter is being cared for and I don't t have to worried about leaving her while I'm at work. My daughter is now in pre school room, she had settled in and great to still hear her positive learning. The only thing that stop me from giving a 5 star was the amount of incident she had from pre school room. Otherwise it would be a 5 star rating. Other then that Busy Bee mt Wellington childcare is the best.”
“My twin are going here and they have been loving the place and the teachers. The teachers are very caring and attentive and looks after my bubs very well. They are learning new things and my toddlers are always excited to go to the day care, that shows how happy are my children at Busy bee Mt Wellington. Thank you to all the teachers at Busy bee”
“Our son has been going to Busy Bees for 9 months now and he loves the teachers and is very excited when we drop him off. The teachers are loving and take such good care of him. He’s really bonded with them and the centre has a family orientated approach, which gives us trust that’s he’s well taken care of each day. We always highly recommend Busy Bees to our friends and family. They’re flexible whilst also ensuring his learning and development is a top priority. We are so grateful to have found the centre!”
