What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?

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 Hand and Hand Early Learning Centre - Hobsonville, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My daughter started here when she turned one, I had a really good report with the staff, They made me feel comfortable leaving my child and would call me to let me know my child had settled into the day as I was anxious. Everytime I picked her up she was always very happy. She is almost 6 now and she still wants to read her portfolio from her kindy . I would recommend Hand and Hand Hobsonville”
“Wonderful daycare for both of our daughters. The staff are truly special and you can feel the care and love they have for the kids. Our two girls love their time at Hand and Hand and it was such a valuable stepping stone for our eldest progression towards school. Highly recommend 👌🏽”
“The best decision we have made for our son is enrolling him at Hand and Hand! We were so nervous as first time parents about choosing the right daycare, and particularly because our son can be quite sensitive and has had higher needs than the average baby. The teachers have always been so patient with him (and us!), and allowed him to build his confidence in a new environment and around different people. He has absolutely thrived while in their care and is now a confident little explorer who enjoys participating in the daily activities the staff thoughtfully put together for the kids. All the staff are lovely and welcoming, and the centre has such a sense of calm about it. We can now get on with our work days without having to worry about our boy, as we know he is in great hands in their care”
“My son loves going to hand and hand every day! The teachers are kind, caring, and create a safe, fun environment. We’ve seen amazing progress in his language and social skills. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a warm and supportive place for their child.”
“We enrolled our child at Hand and Hand Hobsonville in March this year and are so happy with our decision. The centre is always clean and tidy and the teachers are always busy on their feet making sure that all the children's needs are being taken care of. The teachers always welcome and farewell us when we come and go which is lovely. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending the centre to any parents looking for a day care for their children :)”
