About Wellsford Preschool Education Centre
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 Wellsford Preschool Education Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

The environment is warm and nurturing, and we’ve always felt confident that our children were in great hands. Highly recommend this wonderful preschool to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching place for their child. Thank you to Annie and the amazing team for everything!”
“Wellsford Pre-school has been a home away from home for my three children over the past 7 years. The pre-school is professional but homely, warm and welcoming. The children absolutely loved it and still talk about it with found memories. The team at Wellsford Pre-School are the best! Kind caring and fun. I always knew the children were being properly cared for, in the most lovely environment, could not recommend more highly. Thanks so much Annie and the team, we will miss seeing you everyday : )”
“From the moment both my kids stepped foot into Wellsford Preschool they felt right at home. The teachers are absolutely fabulous making sure the children feel safe and happy and calming any nerves. The children are spoilt for choice when it comes to activities and the teachers are wonderful at getting all the children involved and teaching them new life skills. I couldn't speak more highly of my families time at Wellsford Preschool, my kids still ask to go back and visit during school holidays!”
“Absolutely lovely well managed preschool. My son loved it here made heaps of friends, learned a heap of new things. All the staff are very friendly and great people that get along with everyone. They handle all allergy’s very nicely. All the kids love all the activities they do, cooking, painting, bike days, dress up days, planting plants, water play, and more. Great price. Would 100% recommend this preschool any day, anytime!”
