Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā whānau, ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāti Ruanui ki Hāwera. E whakahaerehia ana, e whakaritea ana hoki e te iwi o te takiwā nei. E whakarato ana a Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd i te tautoko ā-kāwana, ā, kei a rātou hoki ngā kawenga e pā ana ki te ārahitanga me ngā takohanga ā-ture o te kōhanga reo. E noho ngākau nui ana te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te whakarato i tētahi taiao haumaru e whakaongaonga ai i ngā mokopuna.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou tino aronga ki te toi whenuatanga me te tuakiri, mā roto mai i ā rātou wheako ako papai.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e whakatairanga ana i te mōhiotanga ki te aronga toi whenuatanga me te tuakiri. Ka rongo rātou i te reo ā-iwi o Taranaki, nā te whai wāhi mai o ngā kaumātua me ngā whānau. E whai māramatanga ana ngā mokopuna ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga hei tangata whenua, i a rātou e whai wāhi atu ana ki ngā pōwhiri. Kei te pakari tō rātou tū ki te mōteatea, ā, ka kitea tō rātou tino māramatanga ki ngā tikanga me ngā kawa o tō rātou iwi. E ākina ana te whakapuaki mai a ngā mokopuna i ō rātou mōhiotanga ki ngā whakapapa, mā te taki i ō rātou pepeha ki ētahi atu. Ka kaha tautoko ngā kaimahi i aua wā. E whanake ana te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna ki a rātou anō, ā, ki ō rātou tātai hono hoki.
He nui ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te tūhonohono ki tō rātou taiao ako mā te tūhura, te tākaro, me te taunekeneke ki ētahi atu. Kei te tākare, kei te hihiri hoki ngā kaimahi, i a rātou e akiaki ana i ngā mokopuna ki te whai i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga me te tūhura i te taiao whānui. Ka whakarato rātou i te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi e whakaongaonga ana, e wero ana, e whakawhānui ana hoki i ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna. I ia rā, e ako ana ngā mokopuna i tō rātou tūnga ki te kōhanga reo, ki te whānau, ā, ki te hapori whānui tonu.
Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere i te hōtaka akoranga, ki te aroturuki i te ako a ngā mokopuna, me te aromātai i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka toro atu hoki ki ngā kōrero urupare a ngā whānau. E whai kiko ana ngā mahere, ā, ka tūhono ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. Kei te mahere ako ngā putanga ako e hiahiatia ana, ngā rautaki, ngā kōrero tuku iho a te iwi, me ngā rauemi ka hāpai i te whakatinanatanga o ngā kaupapa. Ka kapohia te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga ki ngā mātai mokopuna me ngā kōnae mokopuna. Kei roto i aua tuhinga, ko te matawhānui o ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te huarahi ako ake o ia mokopuna. Hui ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero, te whakaaro huritao, me te arotake hoki i ā rātou whakaritenga. Kua tuhia ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, ā, e aroturuki ana i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e akiaki ana, e poipoi ana hoki i tō rātou tuakiri me tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga.
He tukanga ā te whānau mō te whakahaeretanga o ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. E whakaraupapa ana te tūtohinga i te tino ārahitanga me te huarahi ka whāia ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga, ā, ka āta whakatau i te hāngaitanga o aua mahi ki ngā uara me ngā mātāpono matua o te kōhanga reo. He pai te taetae atu ki ngā hui o ia marama, ā, ka whakapuakihia ngā mōhiohio. Arotake ai te whānau – ki te taha o Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd – i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga i ia te wā, hei āta whakatau i te whakatutukitanga o ngā herenga ā-ture. E hono ana te mahere rautaki ki te rautaki mātauranga a Te Paepae o Ngāti Ruanui, ā, ka whakatakoto haere i te tirohanga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna. Ka whai wāhi ki ngā uara matua, ko te whakatupu, te whakawhanake, te whāngai mātauranga, me te poipoi i te whānau, i ngā mokopuna, me ngā kaimahi. E whakatakoto ana te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi whakahaere i te kōhanga reo me te tari, me ngā wā hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia. Ko te waiora o ngā mokopuna, ko tā rātou ako hoki te aronga o ngā whakaritenga.
He pai te whakahaeretanga o ngā take kaimahi. Ka whai wāhi ki ngā tuhinga tuku mahi, ko ngā kirimana mahi a ia kaimahi, ko ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, me ngā tuhinga e arowhai ana i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi. Kua āta whakatutukihia te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi. He aronga ki te whakapakari i ngā pūkenga me ngā āheinga o ngā kaimahi, kia tū pakari ai rātou hei kaiārahi ā meāke nei. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakatau ngātahi a te whānau.
Kāhore anō kia whakatutukihia ngā akoako e pā ana ki te rū whenua. Me whakatau te whānau i te whakatutukitanga o ngā whakaritenga katoa e pā ana ki ngā akoako rū whenua, ā, me tuhi hoki. Ko te noho haumaru o ngā mokopuna te mea nui.
E ai ki te whānau me ngā kaimahi, kei te whakapau kaha tonu rātou ki te whakatairanga ake i tō rātou mōhiotanga me tō rātou māramatanga ki te Children’s Act 2014. E whakatau ana hoki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ka hāpai ake ētahi atu wānanga i tō rātou āheinga ki te whakatutuki i ngā takohanga o taua ture.

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāti Ruanui is in Hāwera. It is operated and managed by the local iwi. Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd provides governance support and is responsible for the guidance and the legal obligations of the kōhanga reo. Whānau and kaimahi are committed to providing a safe and stimulating environment for mokopuna.
Mokopuna demonstrate a strong sense of belonging and identity through their positive learning experiences.
Mokopuna experience learning that promotes knowledge about belonging and identity. They are exposed to the dialect of Taranaki through the involvement of kaumātua and whānau. Mokopuna are developing an understanding about their roles and responsibilities as tangata whenua when they participate in pōwhiri. They comfortably perform mōteatea and demonstrate a sound understanding of tikanga and kawa of their iwi. Mokopuna are encouraged to share their knowledge of whakapapa with others as they recite their pepeha. Kaimahi are very supportive at these times. Mokopuna are developing and understanding of who they are and who they belong to.
There are frequent occasions for mokopuna to make connections to their learning environment through exploration, play and interactions with others. Kaimahi are enthusiastic and energetic as they encourage mokopuna to pursue their interests and explore the wider taiao. They provide a range of activities that stimulate, challenge, and extend mokopuna learning. Mokopuna are learning everyday about their place in within the kōhanga reo, the whānau and the wider community.
Kaimahi work together as they plan the learning programme, monitor mokopuna learning and evaluate the quality of the learning programme. Whānau input is welcomed. Planning is detailed and makes links to Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. The mahere ako includes desired learning outcomes, strategies, local iwi narratives and resourcing to support implementation. Mokopuna progress and development is captured in matai mokopuna and kōnae mokopuna books. These include detailed information about the individual mokopuna learning journeys. Kaimahi meet regularly to discuss, reflect, and review their practices. Documented discussions monitor the quality of the learning programme. Mokopuna engage in learning that encourages and nurtures their identity and sense of belonging.
Whānau have processes in place for managing the kōhanga reo operations. The Tūtohinga outlines clear guidance and direction to manage the operations, ensuring a balanced alignment with the kōhanga reo core values and principles. Monthly hui are well attended and information is shared. The whānau alongside Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd regularly review policies and procedures to ensure they meet legislation. The strategic plan links to Te Paepae o Ngati Ruanui Education strategy, incorporating the vision and aspirations whānau hold for mokopuna. Core values include to grow, develop, educate and nurture whānau, mokopuna and kaimahi. An annual plan sets out operational and administrative tasks and when these are to be completed. Mokopuna wellbeing and learning is the focus.
Personnel matters are well managed. Employment documentation includes individual employment contracts, position descriptions and completed kaimahi safety checks. Kaimahi appraisals have successfully been conducted. There is a emphasis on building kaimahi skill and capability to become effective, future leaders. Mokopuna are at the centre of whānau collective decision making.
Earthquake drills have not been carried out. Whānau must ensure all requirements for earthquake drills are completed and recorded. Mokopuna safety is paramount.
Whānau and kaimahi acknowledge their ongoing efforts to enhance their awareness and understanding of the Children’s Act 2014. ERO agree that further wananga will enable them to demonstrate their commitment to fulfilling the obligations of the Act.
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:
adults providing education and care are familiar with relevant emergency drills and carry out, recorded, and evaluate these with children at least every three months.
[R46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS8 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO recommends that whānau complete earthquake evacuations and continue to work alongside Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd and the district office for support with meeting the obligations of the Childrens Act 2014.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāti Ruanui ki Hāwera. Koia nei te kōhanga reo tuatahi e whakahaerehia ai, e whakaritea ai hoki e tōna iwi. E whakarato ana a Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd i te tautoko ā-kāwana nei, ā, e kawe ana hoki i te ārahitanga me ngā herenga ā-ture hoki o te kōhanga reo. Nō nā tata tonu nei ētahi rerekētanga i pā ai ki ngā tūnga kaimahi me ngā kaimahi whakahaere. Me whai ārahitanga, me whai tautoko hoki ngā kaimahi hou i roto i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Ka whiriwhiri te whānau i tēnei o ngā kōhanga reo nā te kounga o te atawhai e whakaratohia ana mō ngā tamariki.
Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki ō rātou tino hononga ki te hunga e whai wāhi atu ana ki tō rātou kōhanga reo me tō rātou wāhi noho hoki.
Ki tō te ao ako o ngā tamariki, ko te whai pūtaketanga o ā rātou taunekeneke ki ētahi atu. Ka whakatairanga ngā kaimahi i te manaakitanga ki waenga i ngā tamariki me ngā pakeke. Kei te tino mōhio rātou ki ia tamaiti, ā, ka aro wawe rātou ki ngā matea ā-whatumanawa, ā-tinana hoki o ngā tamariki. Kua whakapuakihia e ngā kaimahi tētahi taiao e poipoi ana, e aroha ana hoki. I ngā wā katoa, ka whakatauira rātou i ngā tūmanako kia tika te āhua o te whanonga me ngā tikanga. Ko te pai o te ārahi i ngā tamariki tētahi tino āhuatanga o roto i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki ako. Ka whakaute, ka whai whakaaro nui hoki ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu. He māhorahora, he whakakoia hoki te āhua o ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki ngā tamariki me te whānau. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou rongo i te aroha me te manaaki.
Ka whai wāhi atu te tamaiti ki ngā akoranga e whakanui ana i tōna mana āhua ake. Ka whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi e whakapakari ana i ngā hononga ki ētahi atu o te hapori whānui. E hāpai ana aua wheako i te whai māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou tū ki te ao whānui. Ki tō te whānau whakaaro, ko te kanorau o ngā tamariki – ā-ahurea, ā-iwi hoki – tētahi pūmanawa. Kei te hāpai taua tūāhuatanga i ngā tamariki ki te whakamārama me te whakamana i ngā pūmanawa ake o ētahi atu. Ka whakamana, ka whakanui hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā taonga tuku iho a ia tamaiti. Ka āta whakarite rātou kia tae ā-tinana atu ngā tamariki ki ngā pōhiri. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā tikanga i a rātou e whakatau ana i te manuhiri. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki a rātou anō hei tangata whenua.
Kei te whakawhanake ngā tamariki i ngā pūkenga tuatahi mō te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mā te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi rātou i ētahi tūmomo rautaki reo hei whakapakari i te whai māramatanga me ngā whakawhitinga kōrero māmā. Ka rongo ngā tamariki i te reo Māori ki ngā horopaki ōkawa me ngā horopaki ōpaki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te reo ā-iwi ki te taha o ngā tamariki me ō rātou whānau. Ka akiaki rātou i ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro me ō rātou kare ā-roto mā te kupu kotahi me ngā rerenga kōrero māmā. Ka mārama, ka aro atu hoki ngā tamariki ki ngā tohutohu māmā. E tīmata ana ngā tamariki ki te ako i te reo Māori.
Me whakapakari ake i te whakamahinga o te reo Māori i ngā wā katoa, huri noa i te kōhanga reo. Kei te mārama te whānau, he kaupapa matua tēnei, nā te ahu mai o te nuinga o ngā tamariki i ngā kāinga e kōrero kē ana i te reo Pākehā. Kua tāutuhia e ngā kaimahi ko te reo Māori tētahi āhuatanga matua hei whakawhanake ngaio. E mōhio ana rātou ki te whai huatanga o tēnā ki te hāpai i tā rātou whakawhānui ake i ngā whakaaro o ngā tamariki, me te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero a ngā tamariki mā te reo Māori, tae atu hoki ki te āta whakariterite i a rātou mō te kura. Kāhore te whakamahinga o ngā tamariki i te reo Māori e āta whakawhānuihia ana.
Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā tētahi hōtaka i āta whakamahere nuitia ai. Kua āta whakaraupapahia ngā tūmanako o ngā kaimahi i roto i ngā mahi whakamahere mō te tau 2019, ā, e tohu ana hoki i ngā hononga ki Te Korowai me Te Whāriki. Kua whakawhanakehia ngā angamahi hei ārahi, hei hāpai hoki i ngā kaimahi e kawe ana i ngā tūmomo rōpū reanga. He maha ngā huarahi o ngā kaimahi hei whakaemi i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te ahu whakamua o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ko ētahi o aua mōhiohio, ko ngā tauira mahi, ngā paki ako, ngā kitenga, me ngā kōrero urupare a ngā whānau. Ka whakaemihia ngā mōhiohio ki te pūkete a ia tamaiti. Kei te āta whakamōhiotia te whānau, ki tēnā e ākona ana e ngā tamariki, ā, ki te āhua hoki o tā rātou ahu whakamua i roto i te roanga o te wā.
Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi ngā tukanga e aromātai ai i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka mahi ngātahi rātou kia tāutuhia, kia kōrerohia hoki ngā huarahi e whakapai ake ai i te kounga o te whakapuakitanga ki ngā hui e tū auau ana. Ka tuhi haere ngā kaimahi i ngā whakapaitanga ki te hōtaka. Ka kawe ngātahi rātou i ngā mahi kia aroturukitia ai te hōtaka i ngā wā katoa. E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi hōtaka e poipoi ana i ō rātou matea ako i ngā wā katoa.
Ko te whakawhirinaki, ko te whakaute hoki o tētahi ki tētahi kei te pūtake o te whakawhanaungatanga o te whānau. E arotahi ana ngā whakataunga ki ngā tino painga mō ngā tamariki. Nō nā tata tonu nei ngā hui ā-whānau i whakapuakihia ai, i runga i te whakaaro ki te whakanui i te whai wāhi mai o te whānau ki te kounga o te ako me te atawhai o ā rātou tamariki. Ka whakawhanaunga ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu mā te māia me te whakaute.
Me whai whakaaro a Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd ki ngā rautaki ka whakapakari ake i ngā tukanga o te arotake whaiaro, a, i ngā pūmanawa anō hoki o te whānau i roto i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Kāhore i te mārama te whakahaeretanga rautaki, te aronga rautaki hoki o te kōhanga reo. Kāhore anō ngā tuhinga matua kia whakawhanakehia rānei, kia tohaina rānei ki ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi. Ko ētahi o aua tuhinga matua, ko te tūtohinga i whakahou ake ai, ko te mahere rautaki e hāngai pū ana ki te kōhanga reo, ko tētahi huringa taiāwhio ki te arotake i ngā kaupapa here, ā, ko tētahi tukanga arohaehae i āta tāutuhia ai, otirā, e hono atu ana hoki ki ngā whakawhanaketanga ngaio e whai pānga ana.
He whāiti te māramatanga ngātahi o te whānau ki te hanganga kāwana. Kua tonoa e ngā mema o te whānau ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te tūnga o Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd me āna kawenga mahi. Kāhore hoki i te mārama ki te whānau te hononga ki waenga i a Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd me te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. He mahi anō hei whai ake kia noho mārama ai ngā tūmanako e whakakotahi ai i ngā mahi a Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd, rātou ko te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, ko te whānau hoki o te kōhanga reo, kia whai hua ai hei tino painga mō ngā tamariki.
I te wā o te aromātai, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
I whakaae te whānau me Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāti Ruanui i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāti Ruanui is in Hāwera. It is the first kōhanga reo to be operated and managed by the local iwi. Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd (NTRL) provides governance support and is responsible for the guidance and the legal obligations of the kōhanga reo. There have been recent changes in staff and management personnel. The new kaimahi require guidance and support in the kaupapa of kōhanga reo. The whānau choose this kōhanga because of the quality of care provided for the children.
Children show close connections to those associated with their kōhanga reo and their immediate surroundings.
Children learn in an environment where their interactions with others are meaningful. Kaimahi promote caring relationships amongst children and adults. They know individual children well and they are able to promptly attend to their emotional and physical needs. Kaimahi have created an environment that is nurturing and loving. They consistently role model expectations of acceptable behaviour and tikanga. Positive guidance of children is a strong feature within the range of learning contexts. Children are respectful and considerate of others. Communication with children and whānau is open and affirming. Children show they are loved and cared for.
Children participate in learning that recognises their individual uniqueness. Kaimahi integrate activities that strengthen relationships with others in the local community. These experiences support children to understand how they fit into the wider world. The whānau consider their cultural and tribal diversity to be a strength. This supports children to understand and value the difference in others. Kaimahi respect and acknowledge each child’s heritage. They ensure children are present at pōhiri. Children demonstrate an understanding of tikanga when welcoming manuhiri. Children are developing an awareness of themselves as tangata whenua.
Children develop basic skills to communicate in te reo Māori. They use different language strategies to strengthen understanding and basic communication. Children hear te reo Māori in formal and informal settings. Kaimahi use the local dialect with children and their whānau. They encourage children to express their thoughts and feelings with single words and simple sentences. Children understand and respond to simple instructions and directives. Children are early learners of te reo Māori.
Strengthening the consistent use of te reo Māori in and around the kōhanga reo is required. The whānau understand that this is a priority as most children come from English-speaking homes. Kaimahi have identified te reo Māori as an important area for professional development. They are aware of how this will support them to extend children’s thinking and communication in te reo Māori and to prepare them well for kura. Children’s use of te reo Māori is not being extended well.
Children benefit from a thoughtfully-planned programme. Kaimahi planning expectations for 2019 have been clearly outlined showing links to Te Korowai and Te Whāriki. Frameworks have been developed to guide and support kaimahi with responsibilities for different age groups. Kaimahi gather information on children’s learning progress in a number of ways. These include samples of work, learning stories, observation and feedback from whānau. The information is collated in individual profile books. The whānau are well informed about what children are learning and their progress over time.
Kaimahi have processes in place to evaluate the learning programme. They work collectively to identify and discuss ways to improve the quality of delivery at regular meetings. Kaimahi record any improvements to the programme. They share the responsibility for the constant monitoring of the programme. Children enjoy a programme that is constantly caters for their learning needs.
Whānau relationships are based on trust and respect for each other. Decision making is focussed on positive outcomes for children. Whānau meetings have recently been initiated with the purpose of empowering whānau to contribute to the quality of learning and care for their children. Children relate to others with confidence and respect.
Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd need to consider strategies to strengthen processes of self-review and build whānau capability in the kaupapa of kōhanga reo. The strategic management and direction for the kōhanga reo is unclear. Key documents have either not been developed or distributed to the whānau and kaimahi. These include an updated charter, strategic plan specific to the kōhanga reo, a policy review cycle and a clearly defined appraisal process with links to relevant professional development.
Collective whānau understanding of the governance structure is limited. Whānau members have requested information regarding the role and responsibilities of Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd. The whānau are also unclear on the relationship between Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd and Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust. Further work is required to ensure there is clarity about the expectations for Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd, Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust and the whānau of the kōhanga reo to work together to ensure the best possible outcomes for children.
During the evaluation, 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.
The whānau and ERO agreed on the following recommendations:
Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd work with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust to strengthen whānau understanding of their roles and responsibilities within the kaupapa of kōhanga reo
a te reo Māori strategy be developed and implemented to raise the language capability of kaimahi and whānau.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāti Ruanui will be in three years.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāti Ruanui is in Hawera. The kōhanga reo is governed by Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Limited and the iwi education coordinator oversees the management of the kōhanga reo. Whānau contribute to programme and resource development. Kaimahi are responsible for everyday operations. They are committed to providing a safe and stimulating environment for children. Kaimahi are active and enthusiastic in their interactions with children and whānau. Children are confident, happy and independent learners.
Children show they are very confident learners.
Children are familiar with their environment. They engage in learning that is interesting to them. Kaimahi have established good routines and children transition smoothly throughout the day. Children are comfortable and content.
Children have opportunities to explore and problem solve. They have access to a variety of resources. The outdoor area provides both physical and mental challenges for children. Kaimahi have a good understanding of how children learn. Children are confident learners.
Children are building an understanding of te reo Māori. Children hear te reo Māori that is specific to their iwi. Kaimahi use appropriate strategies to support children’s language development. Children use te reo Māori confidently.
Children enjoy meaningful relationships. They have strong whakapapa links to kaimahi and whānau. Children participate in community events and confidently interact with a range of people. Kaimahi promote children’s ability to build trusting relationships. Children are comfortable with others.
Programme planning is detailed and well documented. Whānau contribute their ideas to planning. Learning content is clear and strategies, resources and kupu hou for kaupapa ako are identified. Planning guides programme implementation. Children benefit from a programme that is well organised and managed.
Assessment processes are in place. Kaimahi are clear about the purpose of assessment. They use profiles and learning stories to monitor children’s learning. These are informed by observations and children’s work. Whānau are well informed of their children’s progress.
Health and safety policies and procedures are in place. Financial systems are transparent. Financial records show that budget forecasts cater well for children’s learning resources. Personnel management processes and documentation are in place, these include job descriptions and individual employment contracts. Kaimahi are clear about their roles and responsibilities for children’s learning.
Self-review requires attention. There is very little evidence of programme evaluation. Kaimahi and whānau cannot be assured that programmes respond to children’s learning needs. The current charter focuses on Ngāti Ruanui Tahua Ltd. The charter does not include sufficient information that is specific to the history, vision, mission, principles and kaupapa of the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi have not yet been appraised. There is insufficient information to determine appropriate professional development to support kaimahi. Whānau have not considered their long term priorities to determine that the future development of the kōhanga reo will be sustainable.
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.
The whānau must ensure that:
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation(s):
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāti Ruanui is in Hawera. The kōhanga reo is well resourced to provide a programme that inspires the children to be confident learners. Kaimahi work hard to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all children. Children are happy in their learning.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāti Ruanui will be in three years.
