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 Leaps and Bounds Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Leaps and Bounds has been great for our two girls. Although it was hard to leave our girls when they were so young, I felt confident they were getting the care and attention needed from the lovely nursery staff.They have a variety of activities on offer each day that keeps them happy and assists with their learning. The staff are very accommodating to specific requests and we are always given feedback at the end of each day. A very warm and welcoming preschool.”
“Leaps are amazing! The owners and the teachers have been so kind to us. My kids are so much more confident and come home almost every day with a new skill. Being parents themselves I have been able to get advise and help without feeling judges for so many different things. My kids are so excited to go to school everyday and so I am I knowing that they are going to a safe and fun environment”
“Leaps and Bounds has been absolutely amazing for my older two sons and now my youngest gets to start his journey there too. The teachers are so kind and welcoming and really take the time to get to know you and your children so they feel safe and secure. My son has an awesome time at pre school and I feel great knowing he will be nurtured, happy and learn heaps when he is away from me. I would highly recommend Leaps and Bounds to any family looking for a preschool in Rangiora, Leaps and Bounds have exceeded my expectations in every way.”
“Leaps have been amazing supporting not just my daughter but me and my family over the last 2 years. They are fantastic at teaching, giving my daughter all the love and encouraging her to be the best she can be. Forever grateful for the leaps team and how they make it so easy from the very beginning making sure my baby is looked after and given lots of love at those sometimes tricky morning drop offs! Leaps have all truly become like family to us. I’ve always felt like she was in the best care with the team and my daughter has the best time!”
