About Co Star Early Learning Centre
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 Star Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“"I absolutely love this daycare! The place is always clean, tidy, and well-organized, creating such a welcoming environment. The staff genuinely care about the kids and are so kind and loving.

“I've been a regular reliever at Co Start, and it's truly a warm and welcoming place. From the moment I started, I felt included and part of the family. The environment is clean, organized, and inviting, with a bright and spotless kitchen. I especially love the kids there—they play happily in the sandpit, listen attentively during storytime, and respond so sweetly to the teachers. Watching them enjoy activities like playdough is a joy. It's a wonderful place that fosters creativity and care."”
“Our son has been going to Co Star going on a couple years now and absolutely loves the place. The indoor/outdoor fit out is great, the centre always feels clean & welcoming and the team there really brings the space to life. We liked how there was the ability for the under 2’s to observe the big kids through a shared but fenced outdoor space, learning valuable skills and making the transition easy. Similarly, (supported by a Curriculum Manager) the two owners are actively involved daily adding further comfort that the values highlighted are being truly lived & maintained in the centre; this was important factor for us when searching in the local area. My wife and I simply couldn't speak more highly of Co Star & Team - well done all!”
“Co star is just a begginer child care. Co star has been looking after my child for more than 2 years. She was one of the children's pioneer in this school. Yeah! That was long! This school is recommendable for every parent. They have new and sanitized facilities which is very safe for children and that is the most important as we leaved our child to them. Teachers are very attentive and focus on the children. I can see how the children and the teacher they loved each. They are very passionate in their job.”
“Quality centre，very clean，all the teachers are very responsible and friendly. My daughter has been here for 2 years，she loves to go to daycare everyday！”
