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

Parent Reviews
“The most empowering decision I ever made was enrolling my daughter here. I am forever grateful to the incredible teachers. My daughter flourished under their guidance and was nurtured with utmost care, surrounded by a team of compassionate educators. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“Our family joined Co Kids 2 years ago and couldn't be happier! We were initially drawn to the centre because of its central location, flexible opening hours and sugar-free, nutritious menu! The fact they also supplied nappies, sunscreen and wipes was just an added bonus! Michelle and the teachers are like our extended family! There is a core number of teachers still there from when we started and their friendly, happy smiles are testament to the caring and kind culture of the centre. I highly recommend this beautiful centre to any families looking for quality care and education for their child.”
“We love Co Kids, the ethics, the teachers, the food - all of it! My daughter started at 17 months and will be there til she starts school next year. It's been such a beautiful place for her to grow, supported in her own way of learning and expressing herself by such beautiful teachers. We've always felt so supported through every new stage of parenting and she's so well cared for. The food is amazing and we have always appreciated how well our food intolerances have been looked after. We wouldn't be anywhere else!”
“Co Kids is a wonderful place for my daughter to be while my wife and I are at work. The parking is plentiful, the site is brilliantly located and close to other shops and amenities. The site is secure with swipe cards issued to parents to allow access. Morning and afternoon tea is provided as well as a cooked lunch. With a zero sugar policy, I can rest assured that my daughter is eating healthy. There is plenty of room to play both indoors and outside. My daughter loves the sandpit and watching the trains go by. The staff are all very friendly and such a pleasure to talk too. I happily recommend Co Kids above other daycare centres here in Christchurch.”
“My son attends Co Kids, we chose it for the lower ratio of children to teachers and the convenience to work. It has been the best decision we could have made! Wonderful teachers, good quality equipment and the bonus of food, nappies and wipes included in the price. They support childrens different personalities and interests, and our son has just thrived! It's a wonderful centre with excellent communication. Couldn't recommend it enough.”
