About KC Birkenhead Trust
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 KC Birkenhead Trust, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Great place to leave kids . The teachers are so wonderful and caring . They cater to all sorts of request and support kids in all possible ways. Kidsco have a lovely small centre which allows individual attention to each kid . Both of my boys have had a great learning experience. Totally recommended”
“We don’t have family in New Zealand so our family is now the teachers at KidsCo. We are so thankful and grateful for the love and care we receive. Both our kids love going and we love seeing them grow up together!”
“My daughter came to New Zealand when she was about 2 and speaks no English, as a mother I felt a bit worried about how she got settled in daycare. I’m happy I chose Kidsco for her and now after two years she is settled so well and almost everyday she brings her drawing or other artwork home, she talks a lot about her friends at Kidsco and what she learnt , big thanks to Kidsco I think I find her the right place to grow and shine”
“Our son has been going to Kidsco from the age of 5 months. I was so anxious the first day dropping him off, but from day 1, the Kidsco teachers have gone ABOVE and beyond for our little one, especially around his anaphylaxis management. The teachers have supported our little one in still being able to have nutritious and oh so delicious meals (way better than what mommy can cook) and still eat with his friends, because the teachers make it work for him - at Kidsco, they acknowledge important things like this for the little ones and make it happen. Each and every day they go the extra mile with such exciting activities, learning new things and fun outdoor play, and this shows with our son having excelled with his vocabulary, his manners and being social with others. We are so so blessed to have Kidsco as part of all of our lives and no words will ever express how thankful I am to have found such an amazing daycare with such loving, knowledgeable and caring teachers. Thank you Kidsco 🩷”
“Highly recommend KidsCo Early Learning Centre. The entire staff are extremely caring and nurturing to all the children, my daughter is genuinely loved and cared for by the most amazing people. Placing your child into care can be so worrying, but KidsCo made it a smooth and reassuring transition when my daughter started 1.5years ago. She has grown and learnt so much, and I truly know that each morning I drop her off she will be in a happy and healthy environment. I am so grateful!”
