ERO review
Akarangi · 2023-11-30
"Teachers are yet to use these, and the learning outcomes in Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum, to guide planning for individual children."
Planning reflects group interests but lacks individual child-focused Te Whāriki outcomes.
"Whānau and outside agencies engage with teachers to create plans for children with additional learning needs. These support their participation in daily routines and learning experiences."
Collaborative support for children with additional needs; broader wellbeing not explicitly evaluated.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Development of the bicultural curriculum is in the early stages. Aspects of te ao Māori are evident in the environment. There is some use of te reo Māori and tikanga Māori through daily routines. Leaders acknowledge the need to further develop relationships with whānau Māori and local iwi to strengthen bicultural practices."
Early-stage bicultural development; limited te reo and tikanga; relationships with whānau Māori need strengthening.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Kidz Kindy @49 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.
