2 Context of the Service
Bizzy Kidz Childcare is one of seven services owned by the Childcare and Learning Group. The centre caters for 80 children up to school age, including 30 children under the age of two years. The centre manager is supported by seven qualified and five unqualified teachers. Children and staff come from the local multi-cultural community.
3 Summary of findings
Children are encouraged to take responsibility for wellbeing of themselves and others, and to care for the environment. Use of their home languages is supported by teachers as they learn with and alongside their friends. Children are familiar with daily routines and display a sense of belonging in the centre. Successful transitions are supported by effective partnerships between families, the service and local schools.
Teachers thoughtfully resource the learning environment and encourage children to explore a wide variety of learning experiences. Those working with infants and toddlers maintain a calm and slow pace to support children’s wellbeing. They plan a programme that is responsive to children’s physical development, interests and abilities. Excursions into the community enrich children’s learning.
Te reo me ngā tikanga Māori are valued by teachers and parents and visible in the centre. Teachers promote tuakana/teina relationships, where older children support younger children. Cultural artefacts and resources, phrases and songs affirm the languages, cultures and identities of Pacific children.
The teaching team works collaboratively to plan programmes that support children’s ongoing learning. Leaders and teachers have identified a goal of strengthening learning partnerships with parents and whānau to enhance children’s learning.
Leaders empower teachers to take responsibility for their own professional growth. Teachers share new learnings with each other, and they reflect on how these can contribute positively to the learning outcomes for all children. Teachers engage in purposeful evaluation projects that enhance the curriculum and teaching practice, and positively impact children’s learning. Parent feedback informs decision making that contributes to the service’s ongoing improvement.
There have been changes in the governance and management of the service since the 2017 ERO review. Service leaders have been proactive in establishing clear goals for continuous improvement. They provide equitable opportunities for children’s learning by ensuring the centre is accessible to all parents and whānau in the local community.
4 Improvement actions
Bizzy Kidz Childcare will include the following actions in its Quality Improvement Planning:

5 Management Assurance on Legal Requirements
Before the review, the staff and management of Bizzy Kidz Childcare completed an ERO Centre Assurance Statement and Self-Audit Checklist. In these documents they attested that they have taken all reasonable steps to meet their legal obligations related to:
- curriculum
- premises and facilities
- health and safety practices
- governance, management and administration.
During the review, ERO looked at the service’s systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
- emotional safety (including positive guidance and child protection)
- physical safety (including supervision; sleep procedures; accidents; medication; hygiene; excursion policies and procedures)
- suitable staffing (including qualification levels; police vetting; teacher registration; ratios)
- evacuation procedures and practices for fire and earthquake.
All early childhood services are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
