What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?

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.

Parent Reviews
“The best kindy, my kids love(d) it. Wonderful teachers and relievers, and the space is sooo beautifully laid out, well equipped with excellent facilities. The outside area is a huge highlight for my boy especially! Love the availability and options for art, creating, building, problem solving, independence. My eldest settled in well after moving town + kindy, when he was 3, and my youngest slotted right in from the get go. Everyone there is super supportive, and amidst some life changes for my little family, they have all been incredibly understanding and have done everything they can to help and make things that bit easier. Couldn’t recommend more highly, thank you to everyone at Rewi Street.”
“My 3yo daughter loves it here. The education she is receiving is going to have her well prepared to start school one day. Every day we walk in and there are new exciting activities ready to go. She gets so excited. The teachers and staff treat her like family and work with me to achieve our whanau goals for her. Highly recommend.”
“Definitely a great place for your children! My twins have absolutely loved their time here, the outside area is so large for the kids who love being outdoors, inside is set up with different things each day which my girls love. They have built amazing friendships here and the teachers are incredible and so so easy to get along with! 100% recommend to others!”
“The best kindy! We have been with Rewi street kindy for about 3 years now and with our time here coming to an end I look back and am so happy with the choice made to move my kids to Rewi St Kindy. My kids have loved their time here building foundations needed to prepare them for their school journeys. The Teachers have been so incredibly supportive and built strong relationships with both my children and myself especially through challenges with my high needs child, I don’t know where I’m going to be without them once we leave for school, we are definitely going to miss our kindy family. With all that said, along with amazing cultural diversity, a safe and fun environment for learning and a beautiful Mara Kai, I would highly recommend Rewi street Kindy 🌟🏆🥇”
“My two kids love rewi st kindy. As an ECE teacher myself, I really appreciate the calm and solid teaching team here. The teachers are long term, solid, and work well together. They offer lots of experiences for the kids like baking, gardening and the mud kitchen is a favourite. Trust your gut and come and feel the vibe here. It’s a wonderful home away from home.”
