About Kidsfirst Kindergartens Queenspark
About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
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 Kidsfirst Kindergartens Queenspark, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“A truly inclusive, welcoming and loving kindergarten. My daughter has been attending for two years (with my son soon set to follow), and she has thrived under the education and care of the incredible teachers at Queenspark Kidsfirst. I have never met a group of educators so dedicated and passionate about their roles, who genuinely care and want the absolute best for all of the children who attend, as well as their whānau. We feel very privileged to be a part of the Queenspark Kidsfirst whānau, and couldn't imagine entrusting our kids' precious early years to anywhere, or anyone else.”
“Really appreciate the time and energy you have spent on our kids.”
“The most supportive, warm and nurturing environment I ever could have wished for my children to spend their kindergarten days in. The Kaiako team make this place magical and I feel so lucky to have been apart of this awesome community for the past 3years. I have learnt so much from these knowledgeable and educated kaiako. Ngā mihi NUI ki a koutou Kidsfirst Queenspark teaching team 💓”
“Lovely teachers and a great place for tamariki to learn and grow. It's also a great way to prepare them for Kura next door.”
“A calm, opportunity-filled centre with a varied outdoors area and ideal mix of activities and space indoors. Even better is the staff team, who are incredible at balancing children's needs, parent support and relationships, tasks/logistics, and general positivity and perspective on top of all that. Could not wish for better!”
