ERO review

Education Review · 2023-02-16

Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
D
"Mokopuna learning is at risk and opportunities for learning are inadequate. The learning programme is mostly adult directed."

Learning programme is mostly adult-directed with limited engagement opportunities and weak assessment practices.

Children's wellbeing
D
"Health and safety cannot be assured. There have been documented concerns about kaimahi, who have behaved inappropriately with mokopuna. These matters occurred during 2021."

Serious documented concerns about inappropriate staff conduct; insufficient supervision and safety monitoring in place.

Whānau partnership
D
"Whānau are not clear about their roles and responsibilities. Those whānau members who met with ERO, identified that they were unaware of any requirements of them."

Whānau unaware of roles; limited participation; irregular hui; minimal shared decision-making.

Bicultural practice
D
"Te reo Māori is not the language of instruction, nor is it a focus for kaimahi. Whānau acknowledge that te reo Māori requires strengthening."

Te reo Māori not embedded as language of instruction; inadequate focus on reo and tikanga development.

Health & safety
D
"There is insufficient rigour around supervision, care, and monitoring to ensure mokopuna are safe. Earthquake drills have not been practised. Child protection policies and procedures are not signed or dated. Given the severity of the issues including, a mokopuna unsupervised, this area requires immediate attention."

Serious safety failures: undocumented incidents, no emergency drills, unsupervised mokopuna, inadequate policies.

Leadership & governance
D
"Strategic planning, annual planning and self-review are inadequate. There is no strategic plan that defines the aspirations of the current whānau and there is no way to be assured that whānau have opportunity to contribute to this."

No strategic plan; inadequate systems and processes; limited internal evaluation; personnel management deficient.
