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

Parent Reviews
“A beautiful center and wonderful team committed to providing children with an inspiring and supportive learning environment. Our boy loves the outdoor space and the all weather play. This center is a true gem. When settling into the infants room I noticed the routine for food worked really well, with hand washing and encouraging the use of little cups for water and fruit tea 💛”
“My son has been going to inspiring minds since he was 3 months old. We fell in love with the teachers and the outdoor play area. We are so grateful we found you guys 🥰”
“Our daughter has had a beautiful and supportive daycare journey these past 4 years, and we are so grateful to the Inspiring minds team for nurturing our daughter into the confident and capable girl she is today.”
“For 10.5 years I had three children at Inspiring Minds (from 3 months old - School age for the eldest). Although especially in the beginning it is extremely nerve wracking to enroll a small baby in childcare, the depth of understanding, empathy, consideration of (our own routines) and the above standard ratios for teachers to infants made it as relaxed as possible for those first time parents we once were. The staff there are awesome, and my children flourished under their care and built amazing relationships with the other children and the teachers. All our children walk up to the teachers from Inspiring Minds when they see them around town and give them a big hug and are genuinely excited to see them again. Transitioning to school was a breeze thanks to the great learning foundations, peer interactions, independence and confidence established at Daycare. It was very sad for us to leave our daily visits to Inspiring Minds when our youngest started school. I cannot recommend the fantastic team at Inspiring Minds enough.”
“A beautiful centre with an amazing outdoor area. We love the teachers - their authenticity and genuine love and respect for our children shines through daily. Our children look forward to going to Inspiring Minds and we always feel at ease when dropping them off. Thank you 😊”
