ERO review
Akarangi · 2021-03-24
"Kaiako are beginning to build a shared understanding about assessment, planning and evaluation to inform the provision of the curriculum that is consistent with Te Whāriki- the early childhood curriculum."
Assessment and planning processes emerging but need alignment with Te Whāriki principles.
"Kaiako work positively with external agencies to promote the wellbeing, learning and development of children who may need additional learning support."
Positive relationships and responsive support systems established for children's wellbeing.
"Leaders and kaiako establish and maintain responsive, respectful relationships with children, parents, whānau and the wider education community."
Responsive relationships maintained; parent aspirations influence service vision.
"Leaders and Kaiako are beginning to integrate te reo me ngā tikanga Māori into the curriculum."
Te reo and tikanga integration emerging but at early stages of development.
"Since the onsite visit the service has provided ERO with evidence that shows it has addressed the following non-compliances: stretchers intended for children to sleep on being securely covered with or made of a non- porous material and hygienically stored bedding hygienically stored when not in use."
Previously identified non-compliances resolved; systems managed appropriately.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where KidzWay Kindergarten 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.
