About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
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 Cloverlea Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My daughter went to cloverlea kindergarten for 3 years and loved it lovely teachers and made great friends wonderful place”
“Definitely not a safe place to send your child. My 2 children were bitten and scratched by the same child over the roughly 2 months we were there. He also bit and scratched other children. Not that child’s fault though he had special needs. He was supposed to have a person shadowing him the whole time to protect the other child while he explored and learned but there was always an excuse from the teachers. Some excuses were ‘I was there but didn’t intervene in time’ and ‘your children are new so they do not know to stay away from him yet’. Not taking responsibility and making it my 3 and 4 year old’s responsibility to get out of the way of a child who is known to react like that is disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves. This photo was from their last day i could not trust them to keep my children safe.”
