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 Seeds and Sprouts Childcare Ltd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We love our Seeds & Sprouts whanau. They were so helpful, kind, loving, caring & above the expectations we had for our boy. He thrived in their care, in the way they educated the tamariki in their learning journeys. Highly recommend this beautiful team, Cass & her team are whanau orientated, so welcoming to new whanau who come into their space. Our boy is thriving & enjoying kura now, thanks to the team who put in the hard Mahi for being school ready. We are very grateful for the love, patience & opportunity to work along aside them in our time here. You guys are the best & we will always be grateful for you guys!!! Nga mihi Ana xx”
