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

“Never left a review before but had to inform others. I visited the school with my husband , we planning to enroll my son. Walked around and saw a few kids where sick with cold or flu who where allowed to play with other kids , sniffing and snotty noses not being wiped .Not hygienic practices in my opinion , I will look for another day care in the area. Beware”
“Staff is so welcoming and this day care made my kids feel like home. Even though they are in school now but they still miss inspire kindy.”
“We were from Henderson and when we moved to Papkura 2 years ago, we were so confused about the childcare as we wanted to give the best for our daughter. We been to many places and were not satisfied as most places were not clean, no professionalism. We then found Inspire and at first glance itself we decided that this is the place we were looking for. The first impression about the surroundings and facility was absolutely gorgeous. Our daughter then spend almost 2 years before she started school. During the time, we found this facility is with great professionalism, very good teachers. They trained the children with love and care. Our daughter learned a lot from there as we could not do much as full time working parents. They taught her discipline, activities and even she knew the letters. They were celebrated so much festivals from different culture and so on.. We dont have enough words to describe how Amazing they are.. The place set by Preenika is highly recommended to anyone.. We dont have a second thought for our baby when she needs one... Regards Jinu and Ancy”
