ERO review
Akarangi · 2022-05-19
"Children benefit from a very well-resourced curriculum that is consistent with Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum and the Montessori approach."
Well-resourced, Te Whāriki-consistent curriculum; assessment practices embedding but complex planning needs refinement.

Children develop strong belonging and social competence; transitions and emotional safety well supported.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"There are some, but not sufficient, opportunities for children to hear and use te reo Māori and learn about Māori culture."
Limited te reo Māori and Māori cultural opportunities; inconsistent integration of bicultural elements.
"ERO identified the following area of non-compliance: when children leave the premises on regular excursions, an assessment and management of risk is undertaken, and the excursion is approved by the Person Responsible."
Non-compliance identified with excursion risk assessment and approval procedures; otherwise sound practices.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Montessori House Atelier de Bambini 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.
