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 The No 1 Kindy Limited, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I can not speak more highly of the wonderful staff at The No.1 Kindy. They have created such a kind, caring and nurturing environment for children with their obvious passion and enthusiasm for what they do. The staff have a such a great working relationship that filters down to the kids, who just seem to love being there. It has made my return to work so much smoother knowing my child is happy, learning and so well cared for. Thanks ladies! You are amazing.”
