About Nurturing Hearts Early Learning 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 Nurturing Hearts Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Centre manager is very caring and place has a combination of male and female teachers which I think is amazing. It's very different from other playschools. They encourage outdoor play in all seasons, which I think is fantastic to build immunity of children.”
“Our experience with Nurturing Hearts has been absolutely wonderful! From the moment we enrolled our son, we felt welcomed and supported by the incredible centre manager and staff. They truly go above and beyond to create a nurturing and engaging environment for the children. Our son has thrived here, forming meaningful relationships and learning so much through play. The staff’s dedication to each child’s development is evident in the way they interact with the kids and the thoughtful activities they plan. We are so grateful for the positive impact Nurturing Hearts has had on our son’s early years. Highly recommend this childcare centre to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and educational place for their child!”
“Wonderful little centre with caring kaitaki looking after the tamariki, our two children attended over a 2.5 year period and were very loved and nurtured through their early learning journeys, they both built amazing relationships with their kaitiaki. Lots of excursions out of the centre, outdoor play and community events. Would absolutely recommend.”
“My little boy loves Nurturing Hearts and its teachers. The centre itself has a wonderful homely feel with plenty of outdoor space for children to play. ECE teachers / carers are fantastic. Huge shout out to TJ for his leadership and commitment to prioritise relationship building over everything else. I would highly recommend the centre to anyone.”
“My little boy looks forward to go to school each day, clearly displaying that he enjoys himself. He learns through exploring which is great. He looks up to the kaitiaki especially TJ, Aiden and of course the others. I believe my boy is safe and feels nurturing hearts is his second home :)”
