About Huntsbury Preschool Incorporated
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 Huntsbury Preschool Incorporated, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our son has just started at Huntsbury Preschool and I couldn’t recommend it higher enough. He has settled in so well and that’s all thanks to the amazing teachers. They have been so kind and nurturing towards him. They really get to know each individual child and their whanau. What I noticed in particular is the wonderful ratios for children to teachers - It is a truly a special place, with beautiful teachers and a gorgeous natural, outdoor setting. We are so happy to have found Huntsbury :)”
“Huntsbury Preschool is Fantastic! It's a community based preschool with loving kaiako. A great outdoor area. Mixed ages, so your kids get more diverse interactions with other kids. Our family loves it there!”
“Huntsbury Preschool is such a special place - our family absolutely loves it. The team are all so caring, kind and knowledgable and they have gone out of their way to make our child's experience wonderful and welcoming from day one. Our child feels safe and cared for, and her confidence has really grown with the support of the fantastic teachers there. Plus they have a magical outdoor area which the Huntsbury children are super lucky to get to explore all day! Couldn't rate these guys highly enough :)”
“We love Huntsbury preschool, our son moved from another local preschool and the difference is vast. It has a fantastic outdoor area, engaging, gentle teachers and activities galore. We only wish we would have known about this preschool before our older daughter started school, she's 6 and often asks to go with her brother during the holidays!”
“We absolutely love Huntsbury preschool, the natural interesting outdoor playground, fresh resources packed out each day, the community spirit and most of all the teachers and relievers are a snapshot of what makes it special. The teachers are very gentle and understanding of the children and their needs, caring and encouraging. The unique dynamic of male and female teachers provides a special balance and Philip’s leadership is exceptional. We feel privileged to be a part of the Huntsbury community.”
