ERO review
Akarangi · 2024-01-29
"Integrate the learning outcomes from Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum, to strengthen assessment, planning, and evaluation processes."
Assessment and planning need strengthening; Te Whāriki integration incomplete.
"Teachers have developed nurturing and responsive relationships with children and are aware of their preferences and interests. Infants and toddlers receive individualised care. As a result, children are settled and display a sense of belonging in the environment."
Strong relationships, individualised care, children settled with sense of belonging.
"Leaders and teachers could now work more collaboratively with families to establish learning-focused partnerships and to set learning outcomes inclusive of their identity, language, and culture."
Communication evident but partnerships need to be more learning-focused and culturally inclusive.
"Leaders acknowledge the need to continually to strengthen this aspect of teaching practice."
Te ao Māori present but inconsistent; strengthening needed across teaching team.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Service leaders acknowledge the need to draw on a wide range of research and current theories of practice to build their inquiry and evaluation practices. Measurable indicators which support the service to monitor shifts in practice and the impact on outcomes for learners have not yet been introduced."
Professional support in place but internal evaluation and measurable indicators lacking.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Cosmo Kids hasn't been graded on a dimension, the composite uses the national average for that dimension as a placeholder. Each affected axis below is flagged est. When a new ERO review lands, the placeholder is replaced and the score may shift.
The composite is a weighted average of six ERO dimensions, each scored 0–100 (A=90, B=70, C=50, D=25). The "(p47)" style suffix shows where the centre sits within its EQI band (peer percentile, when ≥10 comparable centres in band). See methodology for the formula + limits.
