ERO review

Education Review · 2020-11-25

ERO's overall judgement
Not well placed
Review is 5 years old. ERO reassesses most services on a 3-year cycle, so a current review is likely in progress or recently due. Per-dimension grades below reflect this review's prose — they're useful as historical context but the centre's current quality may differ.
Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
C
"Children's learning is recognised and documented. Programme planning includes input from visiting teachers and educators. Visiting teachers help educators to extend children's interests and to support children's developing social skills."

Learning documented and planned but lacks structured Te Whāriki assessment of individual progress.

Children's wellbeing
B
"Documents show children are settled and engage with resources provided by their educators and visiting teachers. Leaders continue to support educators to encourage children's independence and self-help skills."

Children settled, engaged, and supported in independence and social skill development.

Whānau partnership
C
"A next step is for visiting teachers and educators to consistently gather and respond to parents' aspirations for their children's learning."

Communication occurs regularly but inconsistent gathering of parent aspirations identified as development area.

Bicultural practice
C
"Managers and visiting teachers are committed to including bicultural practices in meaningful ways. They should continue to grow their knowledge and confidence to incorporate te reo Māori me ngā tikanga into their practice and model this with educators and children."

Commitment present but knowledge and confidence in te reo Māori and tikanga require development.

Health & safety
D
"ERO identified areas of non-compliance relating to governance and health and safety. To meet requirements the service needs to: consistently implement all aspects of safety checking processes for educators and non-core workers document written emergency plans that include evacuation procedures for each home and when away from homes ensure educators consistently monitor and record children's sleep monitor and record daily hazard checks document excursion supervision plans for regular and special excursions recording supervision plans."

Multiple non-compliances identified requiring urgent attention across safety and documentation.

Leadership & governance
C
"A well-established internal evaluation system guides improvement. Managers and visiting teachers could now evaluate the progress made towards meeting identified strategic goals. Processes to monitor compliance with regulatory requirements require improvement."

Internal evaluation system established but strategic goal monitoring and regulatory compliance monitoring need improveme
