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 House of Wonder Chartwell by Busy Bees, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Family moved from Auckland didn't know what to expect. Visited the centre with my two toddler boys and didn't know how it would go. Dani was so welcoming and very nice to the boys. She introduced them to the teachers and allowed them to be part of the class so we could chat and felt very welcoming throughout from all staff. This made our decision easy after visiting a few daycares around the area. We would highly recommend joining this centre.”
“We love House of Wonder by Busy Bees Chartwell! All of the kaiako are super caring and really know everyone so well. There is always a fun range of activities and provocations that encourage play and curiosity. Children are well supported with their transition from room to room, including a wonderful programme that helps build essential skills to support the move to school.”

“It’s been almost 3 years since my daughter started at House of Wonder and we could not be happier with the care she receives there. I love the little community that they have created for all the children who attend and their families.”
