Bicultural practice
↓C
"Aspects of bi-cultural practice are evident in the environment in a range of resources. This needs to be further strengthened in curriculum planning and assessment."

Bicultural elements present but inconsistently implemented; requires deliberate curriculum integration.

Health & safety
B
"All early childhood services are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements."

Legal compliance confirmed; minor improvements needed to risk management and emergency planning documentation.

Leadership & governance
↓C
"The centre is yet to respond effectively to ERO's recommendations to further develop the bi-cultural aspect of the centre's curriculum, and to embed systems and processes for centre organisation to ensure sustainability."

Strategic direction present but inconsistent implementation; internal evaluation and documentation need strengthening.
