"While whānau have opportunities to contribute cultural information, this is not yet used to inform curriculum decisions."
Limited integration of whānau cultural input into curriculum and assessment decisions.
"Aspects of te ao Māori are evident. Some kupu Māori and waiata are used within the programme. Local pūrākau are beginning to be included in regular nature walks. Leaders and teachers have identified a need to increase the opportunities children have to hear and use te reo Māori."
Emerging te reo Māori and tikanga practices; need to expand and deepen bicultural approach.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"A useful framework is in place to guide internal evaluation, but this requires strengthening. An evaluative question, clear measurable success indicators, more in-depth analysis of data and research to inform sense making is needed to better know what is working or not, and for whom."
Internal evaluation framework exists but needs strengthening; strategic use of NELPs emerging.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Peninsula Early Learning 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.
