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 Reggio Bambini Private Preschool & Infant Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Five stars isn’t enough! We’ve had the most incredible experience with this best start daycare. The team are kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in my child’s wellbeing. My little one has absolutely thrived here - emotionally, socially, and developmentally. The communication is excellent (they actually engage with myself/the parents and update regularly!), the environment is safe and nurturing, and I have always been confident leaving my child in their care. Could not reccomend this daycare enough. Worth every penny in my experience!”

“Both our tamariki have been at BestStart Tawa, so we've been with the centre for over 7 years now. We absolutely love the teachers and staff who all show so much love and care for the tamariki and the whole whanua! The team do an amazing job, work together as a cohesive unit and are very adaptable. There are great resources for the tamariki and the food that is provided is such good quality and delicious. Everyone is so tamariki focuse, and there is a real emphasis on building relationships with the whole whanua. We've loved our time here and are so fortunate for the relationships built. Thank you so much!”

“This daycare is full of teachers who genuinely love the kids. Our son was always happy and taken care of , communication was stellar and we truly felt like part of the whanau! Sadly we had to relocate and still elected to drive about 40 minutes every day to this place until we found a local place for us. We still miss you Tawa and would come back in a heartbeat.”
