About Magical Years Childcare Centre
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 Magical Years Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Sent our son to Magical years for a few months. A wonderful centre with kind and supportive staff!”
“My son has grown a lot since joining Magical Years Kindergarten. His confidence, social skills, and independence have improved. The teachers are patient and supportive, and they provide a nurturing environment for learning. Their activities encourage creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. Their motto, “Where every child’s journey is magical,” reflects exactly what they offer. I’m grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on my son’s development.”
“One of the best decision we ever made as parents was sending our boys to Magical years. Went through so many daycare centers but finally choosed Magical years because so many activities there and specially amazing center Manager and awesome staff. Highly recommend.”
“My son has been with Magical Years for 2 years. When I speak with friends, I clearly see the difference in other daycare centres Vs Magical Years. Ami and her wonderful team of teachers are so instrumental in shaping these kids and using their experience to guide novice parents like me. There are plenty of daycare centers that run thier centre solely as a business but few who genuinely work to create a pathway for the better future for our kids. And Magical Years is one of them. So glad I found this hidden gem.”
“My son was at Magical years for 3 years until he turned 5, he was so comfortable there. All the teachers, staff and management are really the best. They care each and every children with love. Happy to say that, now also my son remembers and asks to visit magical years. He was so attached to them like a family. Really good and recommended to all. Thanks”
