ERO assessed Fitzroy Kindergarten as Not well placed in April 2017. Our analysis of the ERO report identified strengths in children's wellbeing and whānau partnership (both grade A), with curriculum and learning, bicultural practice, health and safety, and leadership and governance all graded B. The service was noted to have effective assessment planning and strong family engagement, though areas for development included reflecting children's cultures more comprehensively in documentation and strengthening monitoring systems.
