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 Kereru Kindy, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“my baby’s luv this place”
“Our 4yo attended Kereru Kindy since she was 2 years old. We could not have chosen a better kindy to send her to for half her life! The teachers bonded with her and she them, even us as parents loved everybody there. We could not recommend them enough. It was a very sad goodbye. We will be back to visit!!”
