"A significant key next step is to clearly establish priorities for children's learning and develop and document the local curriculum to promote these."

Local curriculum priorities not yet established; assessment and planning need strengthening.

"The developing bicultural curriculum gives children opportunities to experience te ao Māori through activities and routines. Some teachers use te reo Māori meaningfully. Staff identify that deepening their knowledge of te ao Māori continues to be an area for improvement."

Developing bicultural practice; inconsistent te reo use; need to strengthen culturally responsive teaching.

"ERO identified areas of non-compliance. The service provider must ensure that: furniture or equipment that could topple and cause injury or damage is secured there is a record of earthquake drills carried out on an at least a three-monthly basis and evaluation of these informs the annual review of the service's emergency plan."

Non-compliance identified with furniture securing and earthquake drill recording; ratios better than minimum.

"Leaders' and teachers' knowledge and understanding of effective internal evaluation for improvement is progressing. Focusing on outcomes for children and evaluating practices against what constitutes high-quality early learning, should further enhance decision making."

Internal evaluation processes developing; professional learning needs better alignment to centre priorities.
