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 Co Kids, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our daughter had a really wonderful 2.5 years here. The carers are wonderful, supportive and fun. Marcia was incredible with our little one, couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend this place”
“We are very happy with co kids childcare. Both our children have been going to this daycare since they were 1 year old. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable, skilled and passionate towards learning and development of the kids. The environment is warm, courteous and respectful towards children and their whanau and empathetic too. Highly recommend Co Kids.”
“Excellent daycare. The teachers are lovely are genuinely invested in kids. They care and make development plans based on feedback from parents and also based on their own observations. They keep parents informed about everything that is happening. They keep the environment clean and tidy. All the teachers are super friendly and supportive”
“We couldn’t be happier with CoKids! The staff are so caring, patient, and attentive to our child’s needs. They create a safe, welcoming environment where our child feels comfortable and excited to go each day. We’ve noticed so much growth in our little one’s social, emotional, and learning skills since starting here. The daily activities are fun, creative, and educational, and we love getting updates and photos that show what they’re doing. It’s clear that the teachers genuinely love what they do and treat the children like their own. As parents, it gives us such peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable, nurturing hands. We’re very grateful to be part of CoKids and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a supportive and loving environment.”
“We love Co Kids - their approach/philosophy towards education, adventure, celebrating all the different cultures and the warm environment is perfect for our boy (and us, we always love being there). The centre is so supportive of the whole family, including all the teachers and the centre manager Seema. Our son loves it there so much and has grown in so many ways. Communication is excellent, the teachers are so kind, calm and gentle with all the kids. All are also so approachable and open, and they are supporting us so much with figuring out how to raise our child! So much amazing help! We love how they love our son. We got an amazing vibe from the first visit and that has been proven to be right throughout the year our son has attended. We highly recommend Co Kids for, among many other positives, their philosophies, beautiful people, modern and spacious facilities, and plentiful and delicious menu! I think the most important thing is that peace of mind that you get when you know your child is in such safe hands in terms of their development being supported and the genuine care the staff have for the children. This was the best decision we could have made for our son.”
