ERO review
Education Review · 2025-07-17
"Planning and practice link very well to Te Whāriki. Adults carefully differentiate their planning so that they can meet the specific needs and strengths of individual and small groups of children."
Strong Te Whāriki alignment, effective planning, intentional teaching observed.
"A welcoming and secure family atmosphere characterises the centre. Adults and children know each other very well. Children of all ages confidently approach any adult for support."
Strong sense of belonging, secure relationships, confident child approach to adults.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"The parent council and educators need to continue to build the confidence of all adults to use te reo Māori in their everyday interactions with the children."
Good foundation with te reo Māori speaker; confidence-building for all staff identified as next step.
"There is no record of signed approval or risk analysis for excursions in 2009 and 2010. This year (2011), the correct procedures have been carefully followed."
Non-compliance identified for excursion risk management in prior years; now corrected.
"The educators and parent group are highly reflective and improvement focused. An important next step is to formalise aspects of the self-review process."
Reflective and improvement-focused; formal self-review framework development needed.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where St Leonards Playcentre 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.
