ERO review
Education Review · 2025-12-11
"Planning, assessment, and programme evaluation processes are in place, ensuring a responsive and intentional learning environment. Programme planning identifies essential elements such as content, whāinga for mokopuna learning, and clear links to Te Whāriki o Te Kōhanga Reo."
Sound planning and assessment systems in place with Te Whāriki alignment evident.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Whānau whakahaere is steadily developing, with whānau contributing to decision-making through regular hui."
Whanau engagement is developing but described as emerging rather than established.
"Mokopuna are thriving in a rich te reo Māori environment that nurtures their identity, confidence, and sense of belonging. They are developing strong oral language skills, which are reflected in tikanga practices such as karakia, waiata, and mihimihi."
Exemplary te reo Māori immersion and tikanga practices embedded throughout centre.
"Bedding does not meet the regulatory requirement. Whānau must ensure that mattresses have protective covering to protect them from becoming soiled, allows accessible cleaning, and does not present a suffocation hazard. This must be tended to immediately to ensure the health and safety of mokopuna."
Non-compliance identified with bedding requirements; urgent correction needed.
"Personnel management is well established, with all required employment documentation — including safety checks — in place. Kaimahi appraisals have been completed, and relevant professional development opportunities are actively sought to support their growth. Strategic planning provides clear direction for future development, with a particular focus on strengthening te reo Māori and enhancing governance practices."
Sound personnel and strategic management evident; professional development actively pursued.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Te Kōhanga Reo o Manawanui 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.
