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 New Shoots Childrens Centre (Papamoa), it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We love it at Papamoa New Shoots! Amazing facilities with an incredible lush green outdoor space, lovely light-filled rooms, and fantastic staff. The kids get to experience learning through so many mediums, and there’s an orchard, lizard, chickens, butterflies, and even Bush Kindy for the older children. The atmosphere is kind, calm and nurturing. The onsite chefs cook fresh and nutritious meals, it always smells amazing in the mornings. Can’t recommend enough how much we enjoy being part of the New Shoots Papamoa community.”
“When we were ‘shopping around’ for the best daycare to send our boy to. We were sold by the awesome large outdoor areas and the healthy home made meals. The best part about new shoots is the genuine love and care that all of the teachers give. The teachers work as a team and really know all of the children. We love it so much and now both of our boys go there and new shoots is a big part of our lives. Every day the learning environments are engaging and different. Thankyou new shoots”
“New shoots has been an amazing place for my daughter. Since leaving another daycare, the process and transition for my family has been amazing. My daughter is so settled and happy there, she now wakes up and wants to go! The staff are all so kind and caring, the facilities are great, the outdoor area is a paradise of exploring for all the little ones, my daughter no only tells me about her meals each day but also about all the activities she does and is thriving. Everything you want in a centre.”
“New Shoots Papamoa is simply incredible. My son looks forward to going everyday and has great relationships with the teachers throughout his journey through the different rooms. He has made and keeps making heaps of friends and comes home and shows us all the things he's learnt each day. The outdoor area is huge and there are so many clever activities and toys for the kids to use and areas to explore. We are so impressed, we love New Shoots and will be sending our daughter there next year too!”
“We love Newshoots Papamoa. My son has been loved and cared for at every stage from the baby room and now into his last preschool room. The teachers are exceptional and really go the extra mile to create an awesome environment for the kids. Beautiful resources and amazing outdoor area. Great communication in all aspects. Highly recommend 👌”
