"Cultural information is yet to be used to inform assessment documentation. Aspects of te ao Māori include poropororakī (process of farewell). Some te reo Māori and tikanga Māori support routine practices. Leaders and teachers are at the beginning stages of developing opportunities for children to learn about the history and pūrākau of mana whenua."

Early stages of development; some te reo and tikanga present but not yet embedded or localised.

"ERO identified the following areas of non-compliance: Ensuring that parents consistently sign upon enrolment their permission for ratios for regular excursions."

Non-compliance noted with excursion permission records; one area addressed since review.

"Leaders guide internal evaluation and inquiries into the responsiveness and effectiveness of teaching practice. There is some evidence of progress as a result of internal evaluation. However, the process needs developing to better support collective understanding, and to show what is working, what is not, and for whom. Systems for compliance and reviews of policies and procedures require strengthening to effectively guide practice and ensure the service is consistently meeting the regulatory requirements."

Internal evaluation developing; compliance systems need strengthening for consistent regulatory adherence.
