ERO REPORTS

Independent ERO review highlights

The Education Review Office independently evaluates early learning services across Aotearoa New Zealand. We value this process and use both the recognised strengths and improvement priorities to keep developing the care and education we provide.

Co Kids Lincoln Road, Auckland

ERO found that children are supported to develop confidence, social skills and a strong sense of belonging in a calm, unhurried environment.

Teachers respond to the verbal and non-verbal cues of infants, while established relationships with parents and whānau help reflect children’s individual cultures, languages and learning needs. Co Kids also works with families and external agencies to support children with additional learning needs.

ERO found that teachers consistently use Te Whāriki to support children’s social and emotional wellbeing, with experiences built around children’s interests.

Parents’ and whānau aspirations contribute to learning plans, and younger children receive sensitive, responsive care. Children also enjoy rich opportunities to develop literacy, communication, creativity, thinking and self-expression.

ERO recognised the positive team approach of the centre’s new leaders, including the mentoring and professional development being established across the teaching team.
