ERO review
Akarangi · 2022-10-05
"Children experience a culturally responsive, inclusive and localised curriculum based on Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum. Learning priorities of kaitiakitanga, whanaungatanga, manaakitanga, tangata whenuatangata are based on Māori values."
Curriculum well-established with Te Whāriki integration; outcomes documentation needs enhancement.
"Infants and toddlers experience a safe and secure environment. Teachers are responsive and respectful providing unhurried opportunities for younger children to learn. Children with additional learning and development needs are well supported."
Strong emotional safety and responsive teaching; effective transitions and support systems evident.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Children experience a broad bicultural curriculum reflective of their local area. Children benefit from language-rich learning interactions with their teachers who support them to be confident to speak and understand some te reo Māori and use New Zealand Sign Language."
Te reo Māori and tikanga embedded; bicultural curriculum evident across learning and environment.
"All early childhood services are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements."
Legal compliance addressed; one non-compliance item resolved post-visit; systems in place.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Remarkable Start 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.
