What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?

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.

Parent Reviews
“Kindercare Manurewa feels homely, warm and welcoming. My two children currently attend here. My eldest child will be graduating and going to primary soon. My child’s journey with Kindercare has been full of so much memories we will cherish forever. The teachers are amazing and enriching our children with so much love, growth and knowledge. To the wonderful teachers at Kindercare Manurewa, your daily work doesn’t go unnoticed and we are so grateful to you all. The centre manager and receptionist are very friendly and welcoming. They’re always ready to step in and help if you have any questions with understanding and empathy. We can’t thank you all enough for your hard work and dedication. Thank you to the team at Kindercare Manurewa!”
“Our daughter used to go to BestStart when we were living in Epsom and we always had issues with the lack of attention teachers had for children there. When i used to go pick up my daughter, teachers would be just sitting around half of the time they wont even be paying attention to kids, also found the management to be fairly greedy with their pricing and holiday policy. When we moved to Manurewa i went to beststart there and it felt exactly the same so we decided to not join there. We decided to change to Kindercare Manurewa and it was best decision we could make. Kindercare Manurewa is awesome, teachers are amazing and management is super helpful. I would pick up my daughter at random times if i got free earlier and never once saw teachers not engaged with children, they were always around kids reading stories, setting up activities and just genuinely enjoying their time with kids. It felt like a second family, my daughter used to cry at times going to beststart and at Kindercare she couldn't wait to go, made good friends and would always take flowers for her teachers as well. Justine the manger is awesome and very helpful, she encouraged us to get help from speech therapist proactively since my daughter was a bit behind on speech and arranged everything proactively which goes to show the genuine care they have for the kids that go here. My daughter will be graduating next month and we are thankful to Kindercare Manurewa for all they have done for her journey. I will always have good things to say about this place and would highly recommend them to any parent”
“Kindercare Manurewa is a wonderful centre with nurturing, thoughtful caregivers who genuinely care about the children. They offer a range of great educational programmes that have helped our son develop strong communication and social skills. We’ve seen Aston grow in confidence and gain skills that have really prepared him for primary school. I highly recommend Kindercare Manurewa to any parent looking for a caring and supportive daycare.”
“We’ve had a wonderful experience with kindercare learning centres -Manurewa. The teachers are incredibly caring, attentive, and dedicated to each child’s growth. Our child looks forward to going every day and has learned so much—socially, emotionally, and academically. The classrooms are bright, clean, and filled with engaging activities. We especially appreciate the regular communication and the fun events they organize for families. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment!”
“My son has been attending this daycare for around 3 months and absolutely loves it so far. He's happy when I drop him off, and the teachers are very welcoming and friendly. The classes are well suited for the age groups. In the lowest age group class they accommodate the babies and the toddlers really well, with a small sectioned off area for the new babies to integrate. The centre introduces a mix of Maori and sign language, and teaches the children about different concepts and senses throughout their time.”
