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

“My son has been going to Kindy Cottage from age 1 and he is now getting ready to leave and go to school. We have had a fantastic experience with Kindy Cottage throughout his whole journey. The owners and the teachers all care passionately about the children and their wellbeing. The spaces that are available for the children are safe, clean, relaxed and well thought out. I have really appreciated the time the teachers have spent to understand what inspires my son and provide learning tools that he loves. I believe he has been given everything he needs to be ready for school. He is a confident happy boy. Thank you Kindy Cottage.”
