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

Parent Reviews
“An incredible center, my son loved his time there. So much space for kids to run around and explore. They are always changing out the resources so the kids are always so excited to see what is going to be out each week. The staff are fantastic. Access to helping care for animals provided so many learning opportunities. Incredible center”
“We absolutely love Country Kindy!💐 Our 3-year-old son started here after being in a home-based care service, and we were a bit nervous at first since he’s quite shy and was very attached to his old teacher. But from the first visit, we knew Country Kindy was the right place for him. The centre has such a beautiful, spacious environment where kids can explore, play, and enjoy nature. There are sheep, ponie, pig, birds, and lovely dogs — our son absolutely loves it! Inside is bright, tidy, and full of fun areas and toys to keep the children busy and happy.😊 The teachers are so kind, caring, and supportive. They make every child feel safe and loved. Our son has become much more confident and happy since joining, and it’s amazing to see how much he’s learning and enjoying himself every day. We’re so grateful to have found Country Kindy, and we can’t wait for our younger child to start there soon too. Such a wonderful, loving, and safe place for little ones to grow! 🌿💛”
“Country Kindy is such a wonderful place for little ones to grow! It has a lovely rural farm vibe with wide open spaces, a few farm animals, and a warm, down-to-earth feeling — the perfect environment for kids to learn and play. When we first visited, we had a few questions and concerns as parents, especially about safety and the environment. The teachers were so honest and gave us straight answers, which made us feel really comfortable and confident about choosing this centre. On our very first visit, the children came up to greet our son, showed him around, and shared their toys — it was so heart-warming to see how kind and friendly they were. There are also so many fun activities like pet days, grandparents’ days, dress-up days, movie nights, magic shows, and many more. We love how they involve families and create such a strong sense of community. It’s been a few months now, and we already see such positive changes in our son. He’s happier, more confident, and absolutely loves going to Kindy. We’re so grateful to have found such a safe, honest, and caring place for him. I highly recommend Country Kindy!”
“My Child has been quite shy but Country Kindy has helped bring out her confidant side. she loves attending and gets along with all the caring teachers. There's always a excellent range of indoor and outdoor activities and as well as great interaction with animals. It's a great place and 100% recommend!”
“Our kids love Country Kindy! Lots of space for them to run around and play, both inside and out. They enjoy the connection with animals, especially feeding the lambs in the Spring. If you're looking for a nurturing daycare with lots of space for kids to play, I highly recommend them. My kids have always come home with a smile and chats about their day. Highly recommend.”
