ERO review
Akarangi · 2024-07-16
"Kaiako are using the learning outcomes from Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum, to plan for children's learning. They are yet to use this information to clearly show progression of learning over time."
Te Whāriki outcomes guide planning, but progression tracking needs development.
"Infants and toddlers are well supported. They experience a calm slow pace that provides them with time to lead their own learning. Kaiako are responsive to their verbal and non-verbal cues and work in partnership with parents and whānau to understand their routines and needs."
Responsive, calm environment with strong partnerships supporting wellbeing.
"Parents and whānau collaborate with kaiako in the design of the curriculum. Their perspectives are gathered and used to inform planning and assessment."
Strong family collaboration in curriculum design and assessment processes.

How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Honeybeez Preschool & Nursery 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.
