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 Open Spaces Preschool Limited, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“I was absolutely dreading sending my little man to daycare but had to go back to work. From the moment we first arrived the whole team did everything they could to make us feel welcome and at home. We were encouraged to settle at a pace that best suited us and when it came to leaving him for the first time, I felt safe and at peace entrusting his care to the lovely Sue. Every day is a new activity and there’s just so much for the little ones to do. Lots of exploring, outdoor adventures and nature, play led learning. The big kids look out for the little ones and there’s just so much love. The food is great, made with lots of love and not having to make lunches is just another bonus. It’s incredibly affordable and most importantly it’s a wholesome place that is run by people who really care. I cannot recommend highly enough and thank the Open Spaces team for such a wonderful second home!”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Open Spaces to anyone looking for childcare for their preschooler. Our son absolutely loves it here and the centre is second to none. The focus on learning through play, with the opportunities to play outside and explore the wild woods and engage with the friendly farm animals on site has been wonderful. The teachers are great, delicious food is provided and we are made to feel like part of the community.”
