About Sunny Days
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 Sunny Days, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“The team here are so loving and go above and beyond to care for the little ones. I have been with them for 6 kids and it will be sad to say bye when the last one turns 5”
“I cant say enough amazing things about Sunnydays. I felt at ease from the first moment my son and i went to look. They are caring, kind, always smiling, the kids adore all the staff. Everyone is so friendly and inviting. My little man runs in each morning to give a hug to his favorite lady, he is so happy and content at Sunnydays. He has learnt so much, tries new things and is encouraged every day. And he brings all his new skills home. I tell everyone with little ones to go see the amazing ladies at Sunnydays, you will be so happy you did 😊😊”
