Positive social interactions evident; transitions and belonging demonstrated.

"Warm, reciprocal relationships with parents and between staff are evident."

Strong relationships and communication with families; strategies evolving.

"Leaders' and teachers' cultural competence has been well supported through professional learning and development. This has resulted in an increased inclusion of te ao Māori and Pacific cultures in the curriculum. Māori, and all children increasingly experience te reo Māori as a meaningful and authentic part of their early childhood experience."

Te reo Māori and tikanga increasingly embedded; professional learning evident.

"All early childhood services are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements."
