Bicultural practice
↓C
"The centre environment reflects aspects of te ao Māori (the Māori world), including basic Māori words and bicultural resources. Children learn about the languages and cultures of others through participating in language weeks and centre events."

Basic bicultural elements present; cultural celebration needs strengthening in assessment

Health & safety
→B
"Leaders and teachers implement procedures and practices to ensure regulatory standards are maintained."

Regulatory standards maintained; assurance statement confirms legal compliance

Leadership & governance
↓C
"The service has established a system of internal evaluation. Evaluations are descriptive, and yet to show the impact and effectiveness of improved practices on outcomes for children."

Internal evaluation processes emerging; measurable impact indicators needed
