Whānau partnership
C
"increasing the range of opportunities, and documenting these, for children and their families to share aspects of their cultures with others in the service"

Family engagement exists but ERO identifies next step to increase documented opportunities for families to share culture

Bicultural practice
→B
"The curriculum acknowledges and reflects the unique place of Māori as tangata whenua. Children are given the opportunity to develop knowledge and an understanding of the cultural heritages of both parties to Te Tiriti o Waitangi."

Te Tiriti commitments evident; cultural acknowledgment present with identified opportunity for deepening.

Health & safety
→B
"At the time of the review, ERO found the service was taking reasonable steps to meet regulatory standards."

Health and safety standards assessed as meeting; service returned to full licence.

Leadership & governance
→B
"The service has returned to a full licence in April this year after a being on a provisional licence for five months."

Management systems adequate to meet standards; professional learning for staff identified as next step.
