"Useful processes are in place to support adults in noticing, recognising and responding to children's interests. These include making children's interests visible, and ways that adults can extend these at the centre and home."

Sound assessment processes in place; consistency and evaluation for impact need strengthening.

"Relationships between the children and adults are positive and reciprocal. Children enjoy the company of their peers and engage in sustained play. They have a sense of belonging in the space and confidently make decisions about their involvement and experiences in activities of interest."

Strong relationships and belonging evident; positive peer engagement and sustained play demonstrated.

"The revised parent education programme is more accessible to centre members. Long-standing members have engaged in Playcentre parent education programmes and provide continuity and knowledge for the new members."

Parent education programme enhanced; established members support continuity for new families.

"Children have opportunities to experience tikanga Māori through established centre rituals and routines. Artefacts, resources and waiata are well integrated into curriculum experiences for children. Members are continuing to grow their knowledge and understanding of te ao Māori."

Te ao Māori integrated into routines and resources; ongoing member learning in progress.

"Reported ratios of adults to children Under 2 1:2 Better than minimum requirements Over 2 1:5 Better than minimum requirements"

Ratios exceed minimum requirements; some compliance issues identified and subsequently addressed.

"Self-review processes are established with appropriate priorities identified for improvement to the curriculum. Review for improvement has led to enhanced resourcing and provisions for children's learning."

Self-review established with priorities; impact evaluation of actions requires further development.
