"Parents/whānau consistently encourage children's learning. They plan resources and activities that reflect current programme themes, and respond well to children's individual interests. As kaiako, they foster learning by prompting children with questions, and engaging them in meaningful conversations."

Effective responsive curriculum with good parent engagement; areas for development in assessment focus.

"Parents/whānau maintain very good management and communication to ensure all families are informed, and able to contribute. They make decisions collectively at regular meetings, and share responsibility for the centre's maintenance and operation."

Effective collective management and communication; consistent family involvement in decisions.

"Centre members have a strong commitment to te reo and tikanga Māori, which are integrated through play, routines, displays and practices. Whānau are enriched by the focus on the bicultural heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand."

Strong commitment to te reo and tikanga; well-integrated bicultural practices evident.

"Centre members have continued to develop their internal evaluation practices. Their reviews have become useful evaluations that respond to changing needs, and contribute to centre development. Members plan to further develop the scope of these internal evaluation processes."

Developing internal evaluation practices; strategic plan guides development; further refinement needed.
