ERO review
Education Review · 2025-07-17
"Centre members should continue to develop these good practices and embed assessment, planning and evaluation to clearly show children's learning over time."
Assessment and planning developing; imbalance in documentation; needs embedding
"Infants and toddlers confidently play and learn alongside older children. Parents guide their participation and encourage them to explore the environment."
Children confident and engaged; positive relationships support learning
"All parents are encouraged to develop goals for children and strategies to support their achievement. A new learning pathway system was introduced in 2015. This has built parents' confidence to contribute to children's record of learning."
Parents engaged in goal-setting and learning records; confidence building
"Children engage in a curriculum where bicultural practices are positively promoted. There are several children identified as Māori on the roll and their parents are leading the centre's ongoing commitment to strengthen bicultural practices."
Bicultural practices positively promoted; Māori parents leading strengthening
"Improvement is needed in areas such as: ensuring the first aid equipment remains current and sterile; all three-pin plugs are made inaccessible to children; developing an emergency plan and evaluating the effectiveness of drills in relation to the plan."
Systems developing but gaps in first aid, electrical safety, emergency planning
"The next step for members is to understand and implement internal evaluation to identify the effectiveness of decisions."
Self-review established; internal evaluation and strategic accountability need development
