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

Parent Reviews
“A wonderful place for babies and families! We came across it through Plunket and loved the bi-monthly music sessions. The teachers are so lovely and welcoming, and the atmosphere is great. Unfortunately, it's too far from where we live, but we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a lovely daycare.”
“We are so happy with our experience. My daughter absolutely loves going every day, and it’s clear how much the kaiakos care for her. They are so loving, patient, and encouraging, and we can already see how much she is growing and learning with their support. It gives us such peace of mind knowing she is in such a safe and nurturing environment. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. it truly feels like a second home for her. We couldn’t ask for a better place!”
“A Wonderful Experience at Busy Bees I can’t express enough gratitude to the amazing teachers and the kind-hearted manager at Busy Bees Rosedale. My child has truly enjoyed their time here, and it’s all thanks to the caring and supportive environment they created. The teachers are not only attentive and patient but also genuinely dedicated to the well-being and development of each child. The manager has been incredibly approachable and understanding, always ready to assist with any concerns or questions. This kindergarten has been such a warm and nurturing place, and I highly recommend it to any parents looking for a safe and caring environment for their children.”
“Great environment, teachers and leadership. They are always welcoming, accommodating and very professional. Our little one took time to adjust and found her ground after a while. She has built a great relationship with teachers and friends over time.”
“Around 4 years ago, my husband and I were looking for a daycare for our 2 little toddlers. We visited more than 15 daycares in the area as we were looking for a place with open space for the children to play, good facilities, qualified teachers with a good ratio per class, a good ERO report and nutritious food for the children. At that period of time, it seemed that we were asking too much and the search was difficult, but fortunately we found Busy Bees/Learning Tree located at Saturn Place. Our older boy left the daycare last year to go to School and our youngest today, and we cannot thank enough to the Busy Bees family for the amazing work they did with our kids. This loving and caring team, ensured that our boys were happy year after year. The kids had different activities every day, they had little trips to the closest parks, planting trees, art exhibitions, sports, among many others. We had the fortune to have very loving, experienced and dedicated teachers, and we can definitively assure that we made the right decision. Thank you very much Busy Bees family for taking care of our little ones and providing them with valuable memories and tools for the next stage in their lives. We treasure all the memories and cannot thank enough for your work and making the kids happy during the years they spent at Busy Bees!”
