Ensuring checks to equipment, premises and facilities being undertaken on every day of operation include all items required by the licensing criterion (HS12)."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Pukekos Educare Thames 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.
