"Visiting teachers coach and mentor educators to provide a rich home-based curriculum based on Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum and with an emphasis on sustainability and nature."

Effective curriculum with Te Whāriki basis, but inconsistent alignment to learning outcomes identified.

"Visiting teachers value te reo Māori and tikanga Māori and meaningfully integrate these through the curriculum, including learning about and caring for the natural environment in ways that integrate opportunities to learn about te ao Māori perspectives."

Te reo and tikanga meaningfully integrated; educators' confidence in daily te reo use still developing.

"There are sound systems in place for day-to-day management of the service."

Sound management systems; legal requirements met; all compliance areas reviewed positively.

"Visiting teachers regularly engage in professional learning and development deliberately building educator practice and shared understandings. They make good use of internal evaluation practices to scrutinise their own practice to know what further changes are needed."

Strong professional learning and evaluation practices; internal evaluation focus needs broadening to groups.
