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 Manaia is situated on the outskirts of Manaia. It is located next to the local marae. The whānau are committed to providing an environment that enhances positive outcomes for mokopuna.
Mokopuna have positive and meaningful relationships and interactions with others.
Mokopuna experience respectful and meaningful relationships. Kuia, kaimahi and whānau model aroha and care when interacting with mokopuna. Whanaungatanga as a key value and underpins all interactions. Mokopuna are encouraged to be courteous to others. Mokopuna learn in an environment where they are exposed to language specific to their iwi. Kaimahi encourage mokopuna to recite their pepeha to help them to recognise language patterns as well as understand their relationships through whakapapa. Older mokopuna are supported to speak te reo Māori and respond with confidence. The use of body language and facial expressions by pēpi as a response to pātai, instructions or conversations are recognized by kaimahi as the early stages of language development. Mokopuna move smoothly between learning activities. The daily programme and well-established routines foster comfort and calm. Kaimahi regularly praise mokopuna efforts and achievements. Mokopuna are happy and settled in their connections with others.
Kaimahi work collaboratively as they plan the learning programme. This is shared amongst the local purapura. Whānau are invited to contribute to planning which includes content, activities and strategies to guide kaimahi to facilitate the learning programme successfully. Portfolios are used to capture and record mokopuna learning journeys and achievements overtime. The whānau are well informed of what mokopuna are learning and are encouraged to comment on mokopuna development. Programme evaluation is an embedded and consistent practice within the kōhanga reo. Programme evaluation leads to improvement. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative practices underpinned by whanaungatanga.
Whānau have systems and processes in place to manage the operations of the kōhanga reo. Whānau hui are attended, and information is shared. Core health and safety policies and procedures are in place and provide clear guidance for kaimahi and whānau. Emergency evacuations are carried out regularly and registers are complete to ensure mokopuna health, safety and welling is prioritised.
The strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tuapae and encompasses the vision and aspirations whānau hold for mokopuna. The whānau are currently exploring opportunities to fund the renovation of an existing building. An action plan identifies priorities and goals to ensure sustainability for the future. The annual plan identifies overall operational and administration tasks and when these are to be completed. Personnel matters are managed. All employment documentation includes individual employment contracts, position descriptions and kaimahi safety checking. Kaimahi appraisals are completed with an ongoing focus of improvement. Mokopuna are at the centre of whānau collective decision making.
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:
ERO recommends that whānau continue to hold wananga to enhance their awareness and understanding of the Children’s Act 2014.

A supplementary review is undertaken at the discretion of the Deputy Chief Review Officer Māori 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.
This supplementary review is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous ERO report or issues identified since that review. The terms of reference for this review are to investigate:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Manaia is located just outside of the small township of Manaia in Taranaki. Since the previous review the whānau has engaged a kaiako/kaiwhakahaere to support and enhance the management and operations of the kōhanga reo. The kōhanga reo is undergoing renovations and extensions to their building. This will create more learning space for their children.
The review identified that the whānau have worked hard to address the concerns in the previous report. There has been an improvement in the learning programme. Issues regarding children’s health and safety are no longer a concern. Self-review has strengthened and areas of non-compliance have been addressed.
How well are children’s safety and well-being as learners nurtured?
Children’s safety and well-being as learners is well nurtured.
Children experience learning that responds to their needs. The learning programme is structured at certain parts of the day. Whānau and kaimahi have clear expectations about how the programme is managed. The programme is well organised. There are opportunities for children to participate in free play. This enables children to follow their areas of interests. Kaimahi use subtle ways to engage children and re-direct them back to their work when needed. Children are positive learners.
Children hear lots of praise and their achievements are affirmed. The kaimahi are loving, gentle and nurturing with children at all times. Children are familiar with routines and how the programme works. This enables children to transition smoothly between the learning programme and routines with ease. The children are safe and happy in their learning.
Children hear te reo Māori throughout the day. The kaiako has a lovely way with the children. She speaks Māori continuously to children as they work. During routines the kaiako can be heard providing information and asking questions of the children. She is a role-model for children and kaimahi. Children have access to a range of resources to support their language development. Children understand te reo Māori and respond appropriately. Children are developing ways to communicate in te reo Māori.
All health and safety policies and procedures are in place. These were reviewed and updated in October 2015. A supervision policy has been reviewed and will be ratified at the next whānau hui. The kōhanga reo is adequately staffed and meets the regulatory ratio criteria. Children are well supervised. Whānau are committed to the health, safety and well-being of their children.
At the moment renovations are being carried out on the building to provide extra learning space. The renovations have meant that children have been restricted to specific parts of the kōhanga reo for safety purposes.
Self-review is much stronger. Policy reviews have been carried out. Planning, assessment and evaluation processes are in place. Planning is comprehensive and guides the learning programme. Children’s learning is monitored through regular reporting. Kaimahi hui refer to the improvement of practice and programme.
A strategic plan is in place. This is based around the framework of Te Ara Tūāpae. Key goals and priorities have evolved as a result of self-review. Whānau long term priorities are realistic and relevant. Kaimahi appraisals have been completed and is ongoing.
Whānau Induction process is carried out by the kaiwhakahaere. It occurs over a period of time to allow whānau to work through the kaupapa of te kōhanga reo and their roles and responsibilities. Most whānau are committed and supportive when required. Communication with whānau happens in various ways. They are well informed of what is happening across aspects of the operations and practice.
Whānau to establish an action plan against their strategic objectives. This will ensure that whānau priorities are realised.
All areas of non-compliance have been addressed. The kōhanga reo is now compliant.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Manaia is located close to the small township of Manaia. Children are happy in their work at kōhanga reo. Their safety and wellbeing is a priority. Whānau continue to work on improving their building and the operations of their kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Manaia will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Manaia i te tapa o Manaia. E tū ana te kōhanga reo nei ki te taha o te marae. Ko te pā tata mai o te marae e hāpai ana i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki me te whakawhanaketanga hoki o tō rātou tuakiri me ngā taonga tuku iho.
Mai i te arotake o mua a te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Poutū-te-rangi o 2010, kua rerekē te ārahitanga i te whakahaeretanga, i te tari, i te hōtaka akoranga hoki. Ko te nuinga o ngā mema o te whānau – tae atu ki ngā tamariki me ngā kaimahi – he hou ki te kōhanga reo nei, ā, kua tīmata i roto i ngā marama kua pahure ake nei.
I whakaritea e te whānau ko Mana Tangata te kaupapa arotahi mō tēnei arotake mātauranga. Ko te tokoiti o ngā mema i tae mai ai ki te arotake nei, i whai wāhi ki te waihanga i te pātai aromātai i ārahi ai i te arotake a te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, arā:
“He pēhea te whai huatanga o tātou te whānau me ngā kaimahi, ki te poipoi i ā tātou tamariki kia tū pakari ai rātou nā runga i te mōhiotanga ki tō rātou tuakiri Māori, ki ā rātou taonga tuku iho hoki?”
I te wā o te arotake, i tāutuhia ai e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā tino āwangawanga i hāngai ai ki te waiora, te atawhai, te haumaru me te ako o ngā tamariki, me te whānau. Kua kōrerohia aua āwangawanga ki te whānau. Ka whai pānga anō hoki ēnei ki te haumaru o te tamaiti, te mātakitaki, te atawhai, te ārai, me te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga.
Ka nui ake aua āwangawanga nā:
ngā wā he ngoikore ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, ngā hononga hoki ki waenga i te whānau i te wā o tēnei arotake
te ngoikore o te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo me te whakahaeretanga hoki o tana tari.
Ko te waiora o ngā tamariki – tae atu ki te atawhai me te haumaru – he āwangawanga i te wā o te arotake. I whakamōhio wawe te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo mō aua āwangawanga. Me whakawhanake te whānau i te pai o te whakahaeretanga me te ārahitanga i te kōhanga reo.
E mea ana te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te hoki ki te kōhanga reo i roto i te tekau mā rua marama ki te aromātai i te ahu whakamua o te whānau i runga o tā rātou whakautu ki ngā taunakitanga o tēnei pūrongo.
I mua o te arotake, i īnoitia te whānau o Te Kōhanga Reo o Manaia kia whai whakaaro ki ā rātou kaupapa motuhake mō te arotake, ā, kia whakamahia ngā aratohu me ngā rauemi i whakaratohia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
Kātahi ka whakaritea ngā tino kaupapa motuhake mō te arotake, whai muri o te whakawhitiwhitinga kōrero i waenga o te rōpū arotake o te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau. I arotahi tēnei whakawhitiwhitinga ki ngā kōrero i te puritia e te kōhanga (tāpiri atu ki ngā kōrero arotake whaiaro)ā, me te whānui atu o te pānga o ngā take mō te arotake ki ngā hua ka puta ki ngā tamariki o Te Kōhanga Reo o Manaia.
I whakaritea e te whānau ko tāna kaupapa arotahi ko:
Ko te katoa o ngā arotake mātauranga ā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i roto o ngā kōhanga reo e arotahi ana ki te kounga o te mātauranga. Ki tā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kei roto i tēnei ko te kounga o te:
Ko ngā kitenga ā te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i roto i ēnei wāhanga, kei raro iho nei.
I whakaritea e ngā mema o te whānau ko Mana Tangata te kaupapa arotahi mō tēnei arotake mātauranga. I whai wāhi rātou ki te waihanga o te pātai aromātai i ārahi ai i te arotake a te Tari Arotake Mātauranga. I te wā o te arotake, i tāutu te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te maha o ngā āwangawanga e pā ana ki te haumaru o ngā tamariki me te whānau, te atawhai, me te ako. Kua whakatakotohia aua whakaaturanga mā tēnei horopaki, arā:
“He pēhea te whai huatanga o tātou te whānau ki te poipoi i ā tātou tamariki kia tū pakari ai rātou nā runga i te mōhiotanga ki tō rātou tuakiri Māori, ki ā rātou taonga tuku iho hoki?”
Te tuakiri me ngā taonga tuku iho.Ko te wāhi o te kōhanga reo me te marae e whakatūturu ana i te ao māori, ngā taonga tuku iho hoki mō ngā tamariki. He ngāwari noa iho te whakapā atu a ngā kaimahi ki ēnei taiao, kia tūturu ai, kia tōtika ai hoki ngā wheako a ngā tamariki mō ā rātou taonga tuku iho, me tō rātou tuakiri. Ia rā, he whai wāhitanga mā ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou pepeha ki ētahi atu. Ka whakapūmautia ngā waiata me ngā tikanga o te hapori. Ka kitea te hiahia, te ngākau nui hoki o ngā tamariki ki te ako i ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki a rātou anō, me ā rātou taonga tuku iho.
Te reo Māori me ngā tikanga.Ka rongo ngā tamariki i te reo Māori e kōrerohia ana e ngā kaiako, puta noa i te rā. Ka whakarato te taiao o te marae i te whānui o ngā tūmomo whai wāhitanga ka rongo ngā tamariki i te reo Māori mā te tūhura haere. Ko ngā whai wāhitanga ōkawa a ngā tamariki ki te ako i te marae, ka whakapūmau anō hoki i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa. Ka kitea te hiahia nui o ngā tamariki ki te ako i te reo mā te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo huarahi ka whakaongaonga i a rātou.
Te whakaongaonga i ngā whai wāhitanga ako.Kāhore ngā tamariki e whiwhi ana i te rawaka o ngā wheako akoranga ka hāngai pū ki te tamaiti, ā, kāhore rānei ēnei e whakaongaonga ana i a rātou. He nui ngā wāhanga o te hōtaka o ia rā e kōkirihia ana e ngā kaimahi, ā, e whakawhāiti ana tēnei i ngā tūmomo āhuatanga ka ākona e ngā tamariki, me ngā huarahi ako anō hoki. Ka whakawhāiti hoki tēnei i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te mahi auaha, te whakaaro pohewa, me te aro pakirehua ki te ao e noho nei rātou.
I tāutuhia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, tokorua anake ngā kaimahi wā kikī mō ngā tamariki 18 – rātou e pakeke ake ana, rātou kei raro iho hoki - i te rua o ngā tau. E mōhio ana aua kaimahi tokorua, kāhore i te rawaka ngā kaimahi i ētahi wā, ā, he nui rawa ngā mahi ki te whakahaere i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo matea ako o ngā tamariki. Kāhore e taea te āta whakatutuki ngā wheako akoranga a ngā tamariki, ki te kore te whānau e rapu i te rongoā ki te whakatutuki i ngā matea o ngā tamariki katoa. Ko te whānau e whakarato ana i te tautoko i ētahi tūmomo wā, me whai wā anō hoki ki te whakawhanake i ngā wheako akoranga auaha.
Te atawhai i ngā tamariki me tō rātou noho haumaru.I te wā o te arotake i tāutu te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te maha o ngā āwangawanga e pā ana ki te haumaru, te atawhai, te ārai, me te ako o ngā tamariki, ā, i whakapuakihia ēnei ki te taha o te whānau. Ahakoa ki tō te whānau whakaaro, he pūtake whai hua mō aua take, kāhore e tika ana kia whai pānga aua tūmomo take ki te mauritau o te kōhanga reo. Me whai whakaaro te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki ngā take e whai ake nei, me te tāutu i ngā rautaki ka āta whakarite i te kore pā mai anō o aua take.
Ko te manaaki me te ārai i ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o te poipoi tamariki kia puāwai ai. Me whakawhanake, me mārama, me whakatinana hoki e te katoa o te whānau me ngā kaimahi ngā pūnaha aroturuki, ngā whakaritenga hoki e tino whai hua ana, e matawhānui ana hoki.
I ngā wā katoa ka aromātai te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te kounga o te whakamahere me te aromātai i ngā kōhanga reo hei tātari i te kounga me te whānuitanga o te whānau o te kōhanga reo ki te whakamahere, te whakahaere, me te aroturuki i ngā wāhanga katoa o te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo mō ā rātou tamariki me te whānau. Ka hāngai hoki te whakamahere me te aromātai ki te whakamahere hōtaka me te aroturuki i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki.
Te whakahaeretanga a te kōhanga reo.Kāhore i te rawaka te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo.
Kāhore te kōhanga reo e arotakengia ana i ia te wā.
He ngoikore te arotake whaiaro a te whānau, tae atu ki te arotake i ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga, me ngā whakaritenga i te kōhanga reo.
Kāhore i te rawaka te aroturuki, te pūrongo hoki i ngā wāhi katoa o te kōhanga reo, tae atu ki te hauora, te haumaru, me ngā rawa.
Me whakapai ake i te whakamahere me te aromātai.
Kāhore ngā kawenga a te kaituku mahi e whakapūmautia ana, tae atu ki te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi.
Kāhore anō te tirohanga, ngā wawata me ngā kaupapa matua a te whānau kia whakamahere nahanahatia, hei whakatakoto i te ahunga whakamua e mārama ana, e matawhānui ana hoki.
He maha ngā herenga ā-ture kāhore anō kia whakatutukihia e te whānau. Me whakahou ake anō i te whakawhitinga kōrero a te whānau me ngā kaimahi kia noho ai Te Korowai hei tino tūāpapa ka ārahi i te whakahaeretanga a te whānau o te kōhanga reo.
Te whakaurutanga mai o ngā whānau hou.Kāhore Te Korowai e āta whakatairanga ana ki ngā mema o te whānau, tae atu ki ngā mema hou. E ai ki ngā mema hou, kāhore anō rātou kia āta whakauru tōtikatia ana ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Kāhore hoki i te āta kitea tō rātou māramatanga ki te whānui o ō rātou tūranga whakahaere, ā rātou kawenga mahi hoki. Kāhore i te rawaka te whai wāhi mai o ngā mātua ki ngā whakaritenga me te whakahaeretanga anō hoki o te kōhanga reo. Ko te whakawhanake i te āheinga o te whānau ki te āta kawe i te pai o ngā whakaritenga, ka whai pānga nui ki te tupu me te rōnakitanga o te kōhanga reo.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Manaia I mua o te arotake, i whakakīia e te kaipupuri raihana, te whānau, me ngā kaimahi o, tētahiTauāki Kupu Tūturu a te Whānau o te Kōhangame tētahiRārangi Tātari Whaiaro. I roto i ēnei tuhinga i oati rātou, i whāia e rātou ngā huarahi whai take hei whakatutuki i ā rātou herenga ā-ture e pā ana ki:
I te wā o te arotake, i whakamātauhia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei, i te mea he nui te pānga o ēnei ki ngā hua ka puta ki ngā tamariki:
I tāutuhia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ētahi wāhanga tautukunga kāore i tutuki. Kia taea ai te whakatikatika i ēnei, me mātua whakarite te whānau o te kōhanga ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
E mea ana te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te hoki ki te kōhanga reo i roto i te tekau mā rua marama ki te aromātai i te ahu whakamua o te whānau i runga o tā rātou whakautu ki ngā taunakitanga o tēnei pūrongo.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Manaia is situated on the outskirts of Manaia. It is located next to the local marae. Being close to the marae supports children’s learning and development about their identity and cultural heritage.
Since the previous ERO review in March 2010, there have been changes to leadership in management, administration and the learning programme. Most whānau members, including children and kaimahi are new to the kōhanga reo over the past few months.
The whānau chose Mana Tangata as the focus for this education review. The few members who attended this review assisted in the design of the evaluation question, which guided ERO’s review:
“How well do we as whānau and kaimahi nurture our children to be confident in their Māori cultural identity and heritage?”
During the course of the review, ERO identified significant concerns with the wellbeing, care, safety and learning of children, and whānau. These concerns have been discussed with the whānau. They include child safety, supervision, care and protection; and the quality of the learning programme.
These concerns are further compounded by:
Children’s wellbeing, including care and safety during the review were of concern. ERO informed the district Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust immediately about these concerns. Whānau need to develop effective management and leadership of the kōhanga reo.
ERO intends to return to the kōhanga reo within 12 months to evaluate the progress made in response to the recommendations in this report.
Te Kōhanga Reo o ManaiaBefore the review, the whānau ofwas invited to consider its priorities for review using guidelines and resources provided by ERO.
Te Kōhanga Reo o ManaiaThe detailed priorities for review were then determined following a discussion between the ERO review team and whānau. This discussion focused on existing information held by the kōhanga reo (including self-review information) and the extent to which potential issues for review contributed to positive outcomes for children at.
The whānau chose as its focus area:
All ERO education reviews in kōhanga reo focus on the quality of education. For ERO this includes the quality of:
ERO’s findings in these areas are set out below.
Members of the whānau chose Mana Tangata as the focus area for this Education Review. They took part in the design of the evaluation question which guided ERO’s review. During the course of the review, ERO had identified many concerns for children and whānau safety, care and learning. These findings are considered in this context:
“How effectively do we as whānau nurture our children to develop confidence in their cultural identity and heritage?”
Identity and heritage.The kōhanga reo and marae surroundings provide an immediate reminder to children of their natural and ancestral heritage. These environments are easily accessible for kaimahi to provide authentic and direct experiences to children about their heritage and identity. Each day children have opportunities to share their pepeha with each other. Local waiata and tikanga are reinforced. Children show a desire and passion to learn more about who they are and their cultural heritage.
Te reo Māori and tīkanga. Children hear te reo Māori spoken by the kaiako throughout the day. The marae context provides a wide range of opportunities where children can learn te reo Māori through exploration. The formal opportunities children have to learn on the marae reinforce tikanga and kawa. Children show strong desire to learn the language in a variety of stimulating ways.
Stimulating learning opportunities.Children do not receive adequate or stimulating child focused learning experiences. Much of the daily programme is directed by kaimahi and this limits what and how children learn. This limits the opportunities children have to be creative, imaginative and promote inquiry about the world that surrounds them.
ERO identified only two fully employed kaimahi for 18 children, under and over two years old. These two kaimahi recognise that at times they are understaffed and overwhelmed with managing the diverse learning needs of children. Children’s learning experiences cannot be fully realised until the whānau find a solution to ensure the needs of all children are met. Whānau who provide support at different times should also be given an opportunity to develop creative learning experiences.
Children’s care and safety.During the review ERO identified and shared with whānau a number of concerns about children’s safety, care, protection and learning. While whānau state that there were legitimate reasons for why these issues happened, it is not appropriate that any matter of this nature interfere with the loving tenor of a kōhanga reo. Whānau and kaimahi must immediately consider the following matters and identify strategies to ensure these do not happen again.
Care and protection of mokopuna is at the heart of nurturing children for successful development. Highly effective and comprehensive monitoring systems and practices need to be developed, understood and implemented by all whānau members and kaimahi.
ERO always evaluates the quality of planning and evaluation in kōhanga reo to determine the quality and extent to which the kōhanga reo whānau plans, manages and monitors all areas on kōhanga reo operations for their children and whānau. Planning and evaluation includes programme planning and monitoring children’s development.
Kōhanga management.The kōhanga is not adequately managed.
Regular review of the kōhanga reo does not occur.
Whānau self review is weak, including review of kōhanga policies, procedures and practices.
Monitoring and reporting of all areas of the kōhanga reo, including health, safety and property are inadequate.
Planning and evaluation needs to be improved.
Employer responsibilities are not upheld, including appraisal of kaimahi.
The whānau vision, aspirations and priorities have not been strategically planned to provide a clear and comprehensive pathway forward.
There are a number of compliance requirements that have not been met by the whānau. There is also a need to restore whānau and kaimahi communication so thatTe Korowaiprovides a strong basis to guide whānau management of the kōhanga reo.
Whānau induction.Te Korowaiis not promoted well to new and existing whānau members. New whānau state that they have not been thoroughly and carefully inducted into the kōhanga reo kaupapa. Nor is it clear that they understand the extent of their management roles and duties. There are insufficient levels of parent involvement for operations and kōhanga reo management. Growth and sustainability of the kōhanga reo is dependent on developing whānau capability to carry out effective operational management.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Manaia Before the review, the licensee, whānau and staff ofcompleted an EROKōhanga Whānau Assurance StatementandSelf-Audit Checklist. In these documents they have attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative obligations related to:
During the review, ERO checked the following items because they have a potentially high impact on outcomes for children:
ERO identified areas of non-compliance. In order to address these the kōhanga reo whānau must:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
ERO intends to return to the kōhanga reo within 12 months to evaluate the progress made in response to the recommendations in this report.
