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 Magic Garden Early Education Limiited, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“A very special ECE! Our daughter attended from the baby room up until turning 5. The teachers in all the rooms could not have been more supportive and encouraging. Our daughter had some extra support from MoE and again the teachers were incredible - working with us and MoE building plans to help progression. They showed genuine care, empathy and compassion to all the children. Our daughter has thrived into a social confident cheeky girl and is adjusting well to school life despite her challenges. Can’t thank the team enough, a great community.”

“Magic garden is by far the largest childcare I have ever visited. My child transferred from another childcare to magic garden last year.The teachers are very enthusiastic and professional. I can feel that they always put children's healthy and happy growth first. My child adapted very quickly and learned a lot of things, such as dancing and creating his own paintings. So I always recommend it to my friends around me.”

My son has spent over a year learning and growing at Magic Garden, and I am continually amazed by his development. I’m deeply grateful to Magic Garden for the care and support they’ve given him.”

“Our time at Magic Garden is coming to an end. 10/10 would recommend Magic Garden. Both of our children enjoyed their time there and it has prepared them well for school. The space is calm, clean and children are well cared for. Staff are all friendly and show they care for the children. We will miss everyone!”
