ERO reviews early childhood services and ngā kōhanga reo on average every three years. ERO reports on the education and care provided for the children in each individual service. Review reports go to the service’s management, and are published on ERO’s website so parents and others can read them.
Is your service having a review?
Our regional offices will send you detailed information before your review. Most of the documents are also available on this website so that you know what to expect and can download additional copies if required. Please contact your local ERO office if you have any queries, comments or advice.
During reviews ERO also collects information on national education topics. This is aggregated and analysed so it can be published in a national report, which is then published on ERO’s website.
