ERO review

ERO Review · 2019-02-18

This review predates ERO's current 4-point placement scale (introduced 2020). The overall judgement is omitted; the per-dimension grades below are extracted from the review prose and remain comparable.

Review is 7 years old. ERO reassesses most services on a 3-year cycle, so a current review is likely in progress or recently due. Per-dimension grades below reflect this review's prose — they're useful as historical context but the centre's current quality may differ.
Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
C
"Further work related to the curriculum is required to promote positive outcomes for children."

Progress made but further curriculum work needed for positive outcomes

Children's wellbeing
C
"Older children would benefit from teachers being more responsive to their needs and level of engagement with the programme. Teachers should review the process they use to settle children. The teachers should also consider ways to better support children's developing social competence, especially around peaceful conflict resolution."

Positive practices for infants/toddlers; older children need more responsive engagement

Whānau partnership

Bicultural practice

Health & safety

Leadership & governance
C
"Relevant performance management processes are being implemented, along with relevant professional learning and development (PLD) to support teachers' practice. When fully implemented, the new appraisal system will encourage teachers to inquire into the effectiveness of their own teaching practice."

Performance systems being implemented; further development needed for strategic planning
