Tutira Kindergarten is a kindergarten service in Hastings District with a current roll of 25 children. An ERO review in February 2022 identified a D grade for health and safety, with non-compliance and inconsistent implementation flagged as requiring urgent attention. Our analysis of the ERO report also found a C grade for bicultural practice, which appeared developing rather than embedded, while whānau partnership and leadership and governance each received a B grade.
