Hidden Treasures Early Learning Centre
Education & Care
31 Westminster Gardens, Unsworth Heights · Auckland - Upper Harbour
Hidden Treasures Early Learning Centre received an Akarangi review from ERO in October 2023. Our analysis of the ERO report found the service demonstrates solid practice in children's wellbeing and health and safety, with respectful interactions and compliance with legal requirements. Whānau partnership and bicultural practice were assessed as having basic foundations but require further development to deepen family engagement and embed te reo and tikanga more fully.

ERO review
Akarangi · 2023-10-30
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Their interactions with children are respectful and enhance the development of oral language and social skills. Children have ownership of their environment and engage in play of their choosing. This allows them to self-manage their own learning."
Respectful interactions, child agency, and positive social-emotional development evident.
"The small group size and good teacher:child ratios support the development of meaningful relationships with families. Leaders and teachers have yet to build learning-focused partnerships, where families contribute to the curriculum or individual learning plans for their children."
Basic relationships established but learning-focused partnerships and family curriculum input lacking.
"Children have opportunities to learn about the cultures of both parties to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Some basic te reo Māori and aspects of tikanga Māori are evident, especially at group times. Leaders acknowledge this is an aspect of teaching practice that is still in the early stages of development."
Basic te reo and tikanga present but acknowledges early-stage development, not yet embedded.
"All early childhood services are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements."
Compliance with legal requirements addressed; previous non-compliance now resolved.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Hidden Treasures Early Learning Centre 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.
