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

Parent Reviews
“Amazing childcare, where our son spent 2 years. Teachers are great, always considering children needs. Our little one learnt a lot of his social skills as well as songs and other things from being there. Big thanks to the team at CoKids for everything!”

“Great environment, all the teachers are so patient and friendly. My boy loves the daycare. Highly recommend.”
“We moved our eldest from the Basin Reserve, when CoKids moved to Thorndon. He thrived in the Preschool and when our second came along he loved the infants room straight away. The teachers are caring and helpful.”
