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. If you are unsure how this works at Kindercare Learning Centres - Spreydon, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We couldn’t recommend Kindercare Strickland Street more highly! All of the teachers are lovely, and really care about the kids. It is a relatively small daycare, spread across 3 classrooms, which means none of the classrooms feel too crowded. The outdoor play areas are also spacious with nice mature trees. Our eldest child has recently left to go to school after 4 years there, and we have been really impressed at how well she was prepared for school. The classroom for the 3.5-4 years olds incorporates a lot of learning through fun activities. Over the last year they also have been on several class trips to places like Ferrymead (after learning about ‘the olden days’), and Orana Park (after learning about ‘wild animals’).”
“I’ve been with Kindercare Strickland Street for nearly 7 years, and it has been such a special part of our lives. My youngest started here at only 6 months old, and she absolutely loved it from the very beginning. The teachers are so caring, supportive, and dedicated — they’ve created such a nurturing environment where my children have grown, learned, and thrived. It’s more than just a preschool; it’s a place where the staff truly become part of your extended family. The communication, kindness, and patience shown over the years has been outstanding, and I know my children have always been in safe and loving hands. We will miss the amazing team here so much. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done for our family, and I couldn’t recommend Kindercare Strickland Street more highly.”
“I can’t say enough good things about this daycare! My family has been with them for several years now. The teachers are absolutely amazing warm, caring, and dedicated. They’ve created such a safe and nurturing environment where both of my daughters have felt happy, supported, and excited to learn and grow. It truly feels like a second home. Leonie, the centre director, is incredibly kind, approachable, and always willing to listen, her leadership truly sets the tone for the caring and supportive atmosphere at the centre. Over the years, I’ve seen how much attention and love they give to each child, and the positive impact it has made in my daughters’ development emotionally, socially, and academically. I’ve always had peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. I’m incredibly grateful for everything the staff has done for my kids, and I would highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring, trustworthy, and supportive place for their child.”
“We had an amazing experience with Kindercare Spreydon. From day one, my child felt completely at home, and that peace of mind as a parent is priceless. A heartfelt thank you to Leonie, the Centre Directress, who has been incredibly supportive, warm, and approachable throughout our time there. Her leadership truly creates a nurturing and positive environment. Special thanks also to the wonderful teachers — Dee, Caren, and all the amazing staff — for their kindness, patience, and dedication. Their love and care helped my child settle in so easily and grow with confidence. I’m so grateful for the safe, loving, and enriching space that Kindercare Spreydon provides. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a centre where children are truly cared for like family.”
“Our son Larry has had the best experience at Kindercare with warm teachers and staff. They help give families flexibility and teach the children so many helpful skills they need in the world. Larry is very well prepared for school after a year of amazing topics and opportunities. Couldn't fault the centre and recommend highly.”
