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 Shooting Stars Daycare, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Absolutely exceeds all expectations! The staff are beyond amazing, the culture and environment is something money cannot buy. Keep up the brilliant work. Thanks”
“I can highly recommend shooting stars as a homely, caring and fun environment for kids and babies. The teachers are so caring and loving and take the time to get to know the kids and their interests and needs. The huge grassy outdoor area is great too!”
“A truly wonderful place for little ones to grow, play and develop! The teachers are thoughtful and caring, and encourage and support individual interests of each child, giving them opportunity to explore and learn. Lots of natural resources, chickens that children help to look after, gorgeous backyard with trees to climb. Both of my boys attended Shooting Stars, and I cannot recommend it enough.”
“A wonderful place for your child. Friendly staff - friendlier owner - with solid teaching practices and a proven history of success. A great place that develops lifelong learners.”
