"Assessment and planning practices for individual children's learning continues to require development. Leaders have identified that parents' aspirations for their children's learning, bicultural perspectives and children's cultures requires better acknowledgment and be more visible in learning records."
Planning visible but assessment practices need strengthening, bicultural perspectives underrepresented.
"Infants and toddlers display a strong sense of wellbeing and belonging in their play space. They benefit from calm and unhurried routines, well-established relationships, and their teachers' affirming and reassuring practices."
Strong belonging and positive relationships; transitions well supported with whānau collaboration.
"Progress has been made in improving communication and relationships with families. There are now opportunities for parents to express their points of view, find out about aspects of early childhood curriculum and contribute to their children's learning programme."

"Teachers' understanding of culturally responsive practice and implementing a culturally responsive curriculum requires further development. Strategic goals and professional support are being put in place at governance level to promote improvement and should be evaluated over time to monitor progress towards these goals."
Bicultural curriculum and culturally responsive practice require further development with strategic support.
"The organisation provides policies, procedures and a framework to monitor health and safety. An area manager works in partnership with the centre director to support operations."
Systems in place; management assurance given on legal health and safety requirements.
"Teachers and leaders are improvement focused. To strengthen decision making about change and next development steps using a process that includes evaluating the effectiveness of practices should be implemented and aligned to centre and teachers' priorities."
Improvement-focused but need stronger internal evaluation, appraisal consistency, and constructive feedback.
