E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga ki Wainuiōmata. He hononga ōna ki te hāhi Ringatū. I te wā o te arotake o mua, i te tū tīhokahoka te kōhanga reo ki te kura o te hapori. I te Kohi-tātea o te tau 2021, i whakatutuki katoatia te raihana, ā, i whakatuwhera anōtia te whare hou. Ka whakawhiti atu te nuinga o ngā mokopuna ki Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Ara Whānui.
He pai te taunekeneke a ngā mokopuna ki ētahi atu, ā, ka manaaki tētahi i tētahi.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e mau nei i ngā hononga e whai pūtake ana, e tautoko ana. Ka kitea te whakaute o ngā hononga i te tini o ngā taunekeneke ki waenga i ngā mokopuna, ō rātou hoa, me ngā pakeke. He mārama ngā tūmanako mō te āhua o ngā taunekeneke a ngā mokopuna ki ētahi atu. Ka whakakoia rātou i ngā taunekeneke me ngā hononga o ngā mokopuna mā te pai o ngā ārahitanga. Ka aro atu ngā kaimahi ki te hāpai i ngā mokopuna mā te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo huarahi, tae atu ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, ngā tohutohu, me te whakatauira. Ka whakamihia ngā mokopuna mā ā rātou whakamātau. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tuākana ki te ārahi i ētahi wāhanga o te hōtaka akoranga. E ākina ana te tohatoha a ngā mokopuna ki ētahi atu. Kei te mauritau ngā mokopuna i roto i ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
Kua whakatakotohia ngā tukanga mō te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka. He mahi ngātahi te whakamahere. He mahere mā ia rōpū o ngā mokopuna. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā whāinga mahere hei pūtake mō te aru i te whakawhanaketanga me te ahu whakamua o ia mokopuna. E whakamōhio ana ngā mōhiohio aromatawai i ngā mahere me te whakatinanatanga. He mārama ngā hononga ki waenga i ngā mahere me ngā aromatawai.
E whanake ana ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau i te kōhanga reo. Kua whakamanahia e te whānau tētahi komiti e whakahaere ana i te kōhanga reo mō rātou. E whanake ana te komiti i ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga e whakatairanga ana i te whānau whakahaere. Kua whai hua te tūtohinga me te whakawhanaketanga o ngā kaupapa here ki te whakaraihana anō i te kōhanga reo. Kua whakatakotohia te mahere rautaki. Kua tautuhia e te whānau ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tawhiti. Ka aroturukitia aua tūāhuatanga, ā, ka pūrongohia ki te whānau. Kua whakatinanahia e te komiti tētahi pūnaha mō te whakahaere i te āhua mahi, hei whakapakari ake i te āheinga ngaio mō ā rātou kaimahi, me te whakakaha ake i te ngaiotanga. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Me whakapakari i te aromātai hōtaka. Kāhore he tino mōhiohio i whakatakotohia ai hei tātari i te āhua o ngā mahi e aroturuki ana i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka akoranga. He mea nui kia tautoko te whānau i ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhanake i tētahi tukanga e pā ana ki te aromātai hōtaka.
Kāhore i te whānau tētahi mahere ā-tau. Ahakoa kua whakatutukihia ētahi kaupapa matua kia oti, he uaua ki te aroturuki i te whānui tonu o te āhua mahi me ngā putanga, i runga tonu i te āhua o ngā kaupapa matua ā-tau. Kua tae ki te wā kia whakaritea e te whānau tētahi mahere ā-tau.

The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities have collaborated to provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga is in Wainuiomata. It has links to the Ringatū faith. At the time of the previous review, the kōhanga reo was temporarily located at the local school. In January 2021 the new building was fully licensed and re-opened. Most mokopuna attend Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Ara Whānui.
Mokopuna interact positively with others and show care for one another.
Mokopuna learn in an environment where relationships are meaningful and supportive. Respectful relationships are evident within the multiple interactions between mokopuna, their peers and adults. Kaimahi have clear expectations for mokopuna engagement with others. They affirm mokopuna interactions and relationships through positive guidance. Kaimahi position themselves to offer support in a variety of ways including conversations, instructions, and modelling. Mokopuna are praised for their efforts. Tuākana have opportunities to lead certain aspects of the learning programme. Mokopuna are encouraged to share with others. Mokopuna are settled in their relationships with others.
Planning, assessment, and programme evaluation processes are in place. Planning is collaborative. There are specific plans for different groups of mokopuna. Kaimahi use planning goals as a basis for tracking individual development and progress. Assessment information informs planning and implementation. There are clear links between planning and assessments.
Whānau management of the kōhanga reo are developing. Whānau have endorsed a committee who manage the kōhanga reo on their behalf. The committee is developing systems and processes to enhance whānau whakahaere. The charter and policy development has successfully re-licenced the Kōhanga reo. Strategic planning is in place. Whānau have identified long term priorities. These are monitored and reported on to whānau. The committee has implemented a performance management system to build professional capability for their kaimahi and to strengthen professionalism. Mokopuna are the focus of whānau whakahaere.
Programme evaluation requires strengthening. There is no clear information in place to gauge how the learning programme is monitored for its effectiveness. It is important that whānau support kaimahi to develop a process of programme evaluation.
Whānau do not have an annual plan. Whilst some on-going priorities are achieved and completed, it is difficult to monitor the overall performance and outcomes against their annual priorities. It is time for whānau to establish an annual plan.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
emotional safety including positive guidance and child protection
physical safety including supervision, sleep procedures, accidents, medication, excursion policy and procedures
suitable staffing including appropriate qualifications, police vetting, ratios
emergency procedures and practices for earthquakes, fire, flood, tsunami and pandemic.
To meet compliance requirements, they must:
ensure there is an annual plan is in place to monitor the progress of key aspects of operations.
[R46 Education (Early Childhood Services] Regulations 2008; GMA 8 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the whānau developed the following recommendation that:
whānau work with the District Office to address the concerns raised in this report.

Ka hāpai ngā akoranga ā-kaupapa i ngā tamariki ki te whakahono ki ngā wāhi me ngā tāngata. Kei ngā pēpi tō rātou ake taiao ako moroki, hihiri hoki.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga is in Wainuiomata. Whānau are commitment to the maintenance and quality of te reo Māori. Children speak te reo Māori with confidence in their interactions with each other and adults.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga will be in three years.
He waka eke noa
Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga is in Wainuiomata. Children and their families come from across the Hutt Valley to this kōhanga reo. The kōhanga reo caters for up to 50 children in two separate buildings on the same site. Since the previous review, the whānau has achieved significant growth and improvement in their kōhanga reo.
Children speak te reo Māori well in their interactions with each other and adults.
Children learn in a high quality te reo Māori environment. They understand and use te reo Māori in their interactions with each other and adults. Kaiako use a range of effective strategies including prompting and questioning to extend children’s language development. Adults have meaningful and stimulating conversations with children. Older children initiate and challenge adults and can sustain conversations about activities. Kaimahi value what children have to say and praise their efforts. Children are well supported to learn te reo Māori.
Relationships and interactions at kōhanga reo are positive. Whanaungatanga forms a strong basis for genuine relationships. Children seek out kaimahi for comfort and reassurance. Their successes are affirmed by kaimahi. Adults promote rangimārie, manaaki, aroha, and tiaki throughout the day in their daily interactions with children. Pēpi are monitored with care to build their confidence and develop independence. High importance is placed on the role and contributions of whanau, kaumatua and wider whānau. Children are happy and settled at kōhanga reo.
The learning programme is designed to build children’s confidence. Kaiako provide opportunities for children to lead karakia and mihimihi. They support children to acknowledge and practice tikanga associated with daily routines such as meal times. Kaimahi ensure children participate in both formal and informal learning experiences. Children are aware of their roles as tangata whenua and manuhiri. This is evident in the way they behave when welcoming visitors. Children are excited and enthusiastic learners.
Children have opportunities to explore, be creative and be physically challenged. Kaimahi plan for children to participate in learning experiences beyond their kōhanga reo. These include visits to the local marine centre and ice skating. Kaupapa learning supports children to make links to places and people. Babies have their own modern and vibrant learning environment. They enjoy exploring their space where they are able to follow their own interests. Kaimahi encourage babies to participate in play and support them in waiata. Children are confident learners at kōhanga reo.
Children’s learning is well organised and planned. Programme planning is clearly linked to outcomes for children that are age appropriate and reflect individual strengths and interests. There is a highly responsive approach to managing Te Whāriki and promoting te reo me ngā tikanga Māori. All aspects of children’s learning are reviewed to identify how well the learning environment and programme are meeting the needs of all children. Kaimahi know their children well. This is reflected in children’s assessment practices. Children are regularly assessed to determine their progress. Whānau are kept informed about children’s learning. Children participate in learning programmes that focus on their needs.
The kōhanga reo is managed effectively by whānau. The kaupapa of kōhanga reo is reflected in the overall operation and forward planning. Whānau and kaimahi have clear strategic goals to support their children’s learning and wellbeing. Internal review is used well to inform developments. Whānau contribute to decision making, reviewing the charter, policies and procedures. Personnel management practices are sound and whānau are responsible employers. The kaiwhakahaere keeps kōhanga reo documents organised, accessible and up to date. Hui are held regularly and cover all areas of management and operations. Whānau fully understand their management responsibilities that are in line with Te Korowai and legislative requirements. Te reo Māori me ōna tikanga underpins the way in which the kōhanga reo is managed for children. Children benefit from a well organised kōhanga reo.
During the review, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga is in Wainuiomata. Whānau are commitment to the maintenance and quality of te reo Māori. Children speak te reo Māori with confidence in their interactions with each other and adults.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga will be in three years.

Arotake Tāpiri, Hui-tanguru 2010 Arotake Tāpiri, Here-turi-kōkā 2008 Arotake Tāpiri, Kohi-tātea 2006 |
Kei Wainuiomata Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga. Ko te pūrongo arotake tāpiri tuatoru tēnei mai i te Kohi-tātea 2006. I taunakitia te pūrongo o mua kia pai ake ai te whanau ki te whakamāherehere me te aromātai i ngā wahanga huri noa i te kōhanga reo, arā, te whai wāhitanga a ngā matua, te whakatakoto māhere rautaki, te whakapakari i ngā tūkanga whakarite pūrongo, te hōtaka whakamāherehere me te aroturuki i te tipuranga o ngā tamariki.
I te Paenga-whāwhā 2012, i tohua tētahi kaiwhakahaere hou e te whānau, ā, nā rātou te pūnaha whakahaere i whakarerekē i te kōhanga reo. I whakatūria tētahi kōmiti, ā, ka mahi tahi te kōmiti me te kaiwhakahaere ki te hāpai i ngā mahi o ia rā. Nā tēnei, he tino pai ake te whai wāhitanga a ngā mātua ki te kōhanga reo. He whai take, he whai hua, ā, he pai rawa ngā whakaritenga whakawhiti whakaaro me ngā whakaritenga tuku pūrongo i ngā wā katoa.
He whānui, he hōhonu ngā māhere ako, ā, e hāngai ana te hōtaka ako ki ngā matea whānui me ngā hiahia o ngā tamariki. Ka āta kohikohi ngā kaimahi i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki ngā akoranga o ngā tamariki, ā, ka tuku atu ngā kōrero ki te whānau. Kei roto i ngā pūkete kōrero a ngā tamariki ko ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te mahi a ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo me ngā tohu whakaputa e hāngai ai ki o rātou tipuranga.
Me whai wāhi nga kaimahi ki te tāutu i ngā tino putanga ako mā ngā tamariki i ngā wā ka whakamāherehere me te aromātai rātou kia pakari ake ai ngā tūkanga aromatawai.
Ka tāututia e te whānau ko te mahi arotake whaiaro i te māhere rautaki te kaupapa nui hei whakatutuki mō te tau 2012. E mahi tahi ana rātou, ā, e āta whai whakaaro ana rātou kia pai ake ai a rātou mahi ki ngā kōrero o Te Ara Tūāpae.
E whakaae ana te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kei te whakahaeretia te kōhanga hei painga mō ngā tamariki. Nō reira, ka arotakehia anō e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te kōhanga hei wāhanga o te huringa arotake o te wā.
I te arotake tāpiri o mua i te Whiringa-ā-nuku 2009, i tirohia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te hōtaka ako a ngā tamariki. Ko te whakamāherehere me te aromatawai, te aromātai, ngā whakaritenga o te hōtaka ako me te maha o ngā rauemu hei tautoko i ngā hōtaka.
Te whai wāhitanga o te whānau.E pai ake ana te whai wāhitanga a ngā matua i te kōhanga reo. E rerekē ana te pūnaha whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Kua whakatūria tētahi kōmiti, ā, ka mahi tahi te kōmiti me te kaiwhakahaere ki te hāpai i ngā mahi o ia rā. Ka hui te whānau ia marama, ā, ka whai wāhi rātou ki te whakaputa whakaaro hei tautoko i ngā whakaritenga o te hōtaka. Ko te tipuranga ako a ngā tamariki tētahi kaupapa kōrero matua i ngā hui a te whānau.
Te whakapakari i ngā pūongo o ia marama. He whai take, he whai hua, ā, he pai rawa ngā whakaritenga whakawhiti whakaaro me ngā whakaritenga tuku pūrongo i ngā wā katoa. He ōrite te rārangi kaupapa a ngā hui a ngā kaimahi, te kōmiti me ngā hui a te whānau, ā, he ōrite te whakatakotoranga ā-tuhi a ngā mēneti. E tāpiri ana ngā mōhiohio ki ngā taunakitanga katoa, ā, ka whakatakoto ngā taunakitanga hei tono ōkawa. E mau ana ēnei whakamaramatanga ki ngā huinga mēneti. Kua tāututia ngā mahi whakatutuki, ā, ka puta mai ēnei whakatutukitanga hei kaupapa kōrero ki te hui ā-marama whai muri.
Te whakatakotoranga a te māhere rautaki.He pai rawa te whakatakotoranga kōrero a te māhere rautaki, ā, ka nui ngā kōrero whai take. Kua whakaritea he māhere hōhonu mā ia whāinga o te māhere rautaki. Tērā anō tētahi tātaritanga e āta arai ana i a rātou, ā, ka noho te tātaritanga hei wahanga motuhake o te māhere. Ka tautoko tēnei tukanga i te mahi arotake whaiaro a te whānau. Ka tāututia e te whānau ko te mahi arotake whaiaro i te māhere rautaki te kaupapa nui hei whakatutuki mō te tau 2012. E mahi tahi ana rātou, ā, e āta whai whakaaro ana rātou kia hāngai pai ake ai a rātou mahi ki ngā kōrero o Te Ara Tūāpae.
Te hōtaka whakamāherehere. He whãnui, he hōhonu ngā māhere ako, ā, e hāngai ana te hōtaka ako ki ngā matea whānui me ngā hiahia o ngā tamariki. E hāngai ana ngā māhere kiTe Whāriki. Kua whakaritea te hōtaka e ngā kaiako hei painga mō ngā tamariki. Ko te māhere ā-wiki me te māhere o te rā e arahi ana i a rātou, ā, e tino mōhio ana rātou i te mahi hei whakatutuki ia rā. Ka noho ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakatakoto māhere me te aromātai, ā, nā tēnei tūāhua tukanga mahi tahi e piki ana ō rātou mātauranga. Ka riro te committee me te whānau i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki ngā hōtaka i ngā wā katoa.
Te aroturuki i te tipuranga ako o ngā tamariki. Ka āta kohikohi ngā kaimahi i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki ngā akoranga o ngā tamariki, ā, ka tuku atu ngā kōrero ki te whānau. Kei roto i ngā pūkete kōrero a ngā tamariki ko ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te mahi a ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo me ngā tohu whakaputa e hāngai ai ki a rātou tipuranga.
Te aromatawai i ngā putanga ako mā ngā tamariki. Kāore ngā māhere ako e hāngai pai ana ki ngā putanga ako mā ngā tamariki i ngā wā katoa. I tāututia ngā putanga ako e ngā kaimahi mō te rā i whakaritea hei rā kaumatua. Mā te whakamāherehere ōrite e pā ana ki te ako i te reo ka pai ake te tipuranga ako a ngā tamariki. Kia haere tonu te mahi arotake whaiaro ka pai ake ngā kaimahi ki te whakatakoto māhere hei tautoko i ngā matea o tēnā tamaiti me tēnā tamaiti.
I whakawhanakehia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā:
E whakaae ana te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kei te whakahaeretia te kōhanga hei painga mō ngā tamariki. Nō reira, ka arotakehia anō e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te kōhanga hei wāhanga o te huringa arotake o te wā.

A supplementary review is undertaken at the discretion of a National Manager in the Education Review Office (ERO).
A supplementary review evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO review and/or any additional areas identified since that review.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā UrungaThis supplementary review is based on an evaluation of the performance ofgoverning body and management in relation to areas identified in the February 2010ERO report or issues identified since that review. The terms of reference for this review are to investigate:

Supplementary Review, February 2010 Supplementary Review, August 2008 Supplementary Review, January 2006 |
Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga is located in Wainuiomata. This is the third supplementary review report since January 2006. The previous report recommended that whānau improve planning and evaluation practices across the kōhanga reo including whānau participation, strategic planning, strengthening reporting, programme planning and monitoring children’s progress.
In April 2012, the whānau appointed a new kaiwhakahaere and they restructured whānau management of the kōhanga reo. A committee was appointed to work with the kaiwhakahaere to manage the day to day operations of the kōhanga reo. As a result, whānau participation in the kōhanga reo has improved significantly. Communication and reporting across the kōhanga reo is consistent, transparent and effectively managed. The whānau meets monthly and contributes to planning and monitoring the programme. Children’s progress is the priority focus during whānau meetings.
Programme plans are detailed and show they cater for children with a range of developmental needs and interests. Kaimahi consistently gather information about children’s learning and share this with whānau. Profiles include information about what children do at kōhanga reo and some indications of their progress. Kaimahi must identify specific learning outcomes for children during the planning and evaluation stages of their work to improve assessment practices further,
The whānau has identified a review of the strategic plan as a priority for 2012. They are working towards greater alignment with Te Ara Tūāpae.
ERO is confident that the kōhanga is being managed in the interests of the children. Therefore ERO will review the kōhanga again as part of the regular review cycle.
During the previous supplementary review in October 2009, ERO looked at the learning programme for children. This included planning and assessment, evaluation, resource accessibility and programme organisation.
Whānau participation.Whānau participation in the kōhanga reo management and operations has improved significantly. There has been a restructure of the kōhanga reo management. There is a designated committee who works with the kaiwhakahaere to manage the day to day operations. This group presents recommendations at whānau hui. The whānau meets monthly and contributes to planning the programme. Children’s progress is the priority for discussion during whānau hui.
Strengthening monthly reporting.Communication and reporting across the kōhanga reo is consistent, transparent and effectively managed. The committee, whānau and kaimahi hui follow the same format and minutes are recorded using a standard template. All recommendations are presented as formal proposals with supporting information provided as part of the documentation. This background information is kept with each set of minutes. Actions are clearly identified and allocated time for following up at the next monthly hui.
Strategic planning.The current strategic plan is well constructed and carefully considered. There is a detailed plan for each of the strategic goals. A rigorous risk analysis is included as part of the plan. This process supports strategic self review for the whānau. The whānau has identified review of the strategic plan as a priority for 2012. They are working towards greater alignment with Te Ara Tūāpae.
Programme planning.Programme plans are detailed and cater for children’s range of developmental needs and interests. Plans are linked toTe Whāriki.Kaiamahi ensure that the programme is appropriate for children. They are guided by weekly and daily plans and know what is expected of them each day. Kaimahi plan and evaluate the programme collectively to build their capacity as a team. The committee and whānau receive information about the programme regularly.
Monitoring children’s progress.Kaimahi consistently gather information about children’s learning and share this with whānau. Profiles include information about what children do at kōhanga reo and some indications of their progress.
Assessing learning outcomes for children.Programme plans do not consistently include expected learning outcomes for children. Kaimahi identified appropriate learning outcomes for children in the planned kaumātua day. More consistent planning in relation to language learning is likely to increase the focus on children’s progress. Ongoing reflection should further support kaimahi to plan for the individual needs of children.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation(s):
ERO is confident that the kōhanga is being managed in the interests of the children. Therefore ERO will review the kōhanga again as part of the regular review cycle.

This supplementary review evaluates the quality of education and care received by the tamariki and the performance of the whānau in relation to specific terms of reference.
The Education Review Office [ERO] evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga follows.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Upoko ā Urunga is located in Wainuiomata. This is the third supplementary review report since January 2006.

ERO is confident that the kōhanga is being managed in the interests of the children. Therefore ERO will review the kōhanga again as part of the regular review cycle.
When ERO has reviewed a kōhanga reo we ask the whānau of the kōhanga reo to let us know how they intend to manage any difficulties set out in their report (copies of which are available from the kōhanga reo or ERO). We also encourage whānau to inform their community of any follow up action plan. You should talk to the whānau if you have any questions about this evaluation, the full ERO report or their future intentions.

ERO is an independent, external evaluation agency that undertakes reviews of kura kaupapa Māori and kōhanga reo throughout New Zealand.
ERO follows a set of standard procedures to conduct reviews. The purpose of each review is to:
Reviews are intended to focus on outcomes for tamariki and build on each kōhanga reo self review.
ERO’s framework for reviewing and reporting is based on four review strands.
ERO reviews do not cover every aspect of kōhanga reo performance and each ERO report may cover different issues. The aim is to provide information on aspects that are central to positive outcomes for tamariki and useful to this kōhanga reo.
Most ERO reports include recommendations for improvement. A recommendation on a particular issue does not necessarily mean that a kōhanga reo is performing poorly in relation to that issue. There is no direct link between the number of recommendations in this report and the overall performance of this kōhanga reo.
