About Kindercare Learning Centres Botany Downs
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 Kindercare Learning Centres Botany Downs, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Amazing place filled with fantastic caring teachers and auxillary staff. Communication is fantastic and parents are made very aware of any upcoming education focuses. I am very grateful for Kindercare Botany Downs, it has been my daughters second home since she was 8 months old and we are so grateful she got to have the experiences she did. She was well prepared for school which was proven by a very successful first week as a 5 year old. Thank you so much to everyone at Botany Downs Kindercare, we will be forever grateful.”

“An absolutely fantastic kindergarten! The love, care, and support extended to both parents and children are truly remarkable. The before-school preparation program was incredible, and I only wish I had sent my daughter there as well, not just my son. I highly recommend this kindergarten to anyone looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their children.”
“Kindercare Botany have been absolutely amazing for us as a family. Our daughter started when she was 1 years old and she is nearly 2 now. The level of care, love and attention to the children is fantastic! My daughter eats so well at Kindercare. She just loves the teachers and other children. It feels like family to us and I would highly recommend it to other families”
“My Daughter has been with Kindercare Botany for 1 month. She started when she was 8 months old. The moment I walked into the centre i knew it was where I wanted my baby to be. As she was only 8 months I was looking for a safe, clean, welcoming and nurturing centre. The kiwi room provide all of this and made the transition so easy for our family and Daughter. I'm so thankful for the wonderful ladies in the kiwi room. They're always so welcoming every morning, my baby is always clean when I pick her up, her items are always together and handed to me on pick up. I can honestly say this is the BEST daycare, I cannot fault them in anyway. Not to mention, The aromas that flow through the centre from the yummy baking and cooking that the chef makes for our Tamariki ☺️”
