Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā whānau, ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
2E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā ki Maraenui, ki Ahuriri. E whā ngā whakatupuranga kua noho ngākau nui ki te kōhanga reo mō te roanga atu o ngā tau 30. Ko tō te whānau wawata, kia rongo ngā mokopuna i te haumaru, i te āhurutanga, ā, kia poipoi hoki rātou i te tino aronga toi whenuatanga.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou mauritau mā te mārie me te papai o tā rātou taunekeneke atu ki ō rātou hoa.
Ka ako ngā mokopuna mā roto mai i tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i ngā hononga papai. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te aroha, i te atawhai, me te whakaute i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke ki ngā mokopuna. Ka hāpai rātou i ngā mokopuna ki te ako i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa o tō rātou whare kōhanga reo mā ngā tikanga, pērā i ngā mihi whakatau. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou mōhiotanga ki te whakapapa o te kōhanga reo mā ngā waiata. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā mokopuna, pērā i te whāngai kupu, te tāruarua, me te tohutohu. Tāpiri atu ki tēnā, ka ako ngā mokopuna i te hanganga me te pūtake o te reo mā ngā karakia me ngā mihimihi. He māmā ki ngā mokopuna te whai i ngā mahinga, ā, he tika tā rātou taunekeneke haere, puta noa i tō rātou taiao. Ka whai wāhi mātātoa rātou ki te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi hei whakapuaki, hei whakamārama anō hoki i ō rātou mōhiotanga. Ka poipoi te wāhi ako o roto i ngā matea o te rōpū, o te tamaiti takitahi hoki. Whakamihi ai ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna i ia te wā mō ā rātou whakamātau me ā rātou whakatutukitanga. Kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau hoki ngā mokopuna i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke ki ētahi atu.
E poipoia ana, e aroturukitia ana, e pūrongohia ana hoki ngā matea ako o ngā mokopuna. Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere i te mahere ako. Ka whai wāhi ki aua mahere, ko ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki, ā, e tautuhi ana i te kiko o te hōtaka, i ngā taumahi, me ngā rauemi, ngā rautaki hoki mō te whakatinanatanga. Ka whakamahia ngā Kōnae Mokopuna hei whakaatu i ngā tauira mahi, tae atu ki ngā paki ako e aru ana i te ahu whakamua a ia mokopuna. Ko tā ngā Mātai i te katoa o te Mokopuna, he miramira i te whakawhanaketanga torowhānui o ia mokopuna. Whakaaro huritao ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā mō ā rātou whakaritenga, hei whakapakari, hei aro nui ki ngā matea o ngā mokopuna, ā, ka whakamahi i te aromātai hōtaka ki te ine i te kounga o ngā putanga ako mō ngā mokopuna. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te ngātahitanga o ngā whakaritenga i pou herea ai ki te whanaungatanga.
Kua whakatakotohia e te whānau te nuinga o ngā pūnaha e whakahaere ai i tō rātou kōhanga reo. E tautuhi ana te tūtohinga i ngā tukanga, ā, e whakatakoto ana i te aronga nahanaha, i te huarahi anō hoki mō te whānau. Whakatutukihia ai e ngā kaimahi ngā hōneatanga ohotata i ia te wā, mō te ahi, te rū whenua, me te tai āniwhaniwha. Kua whakatakotohia ngā rēhita e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. He pai te takotoranga o te mahere ā-tau, ā, ka tautuhi i ngā mahi whakahaere whānui, i ngā wā hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia. He tika te whakaū ki ngā take kaimahi. Kei ngā tuhinga mahi a ngā kaimahi, ko ngā kirimina mahi takitahi, ko ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, me ngā tuhinga arowhai i manatokotia ai te haumaru o ngā kaimahi. Kua whakatutukihia ngā arohaehae, ā, ka arotahi ki te whakapiki ake i te mōhiotanga o ngā kaimahi, me te aronga nui ki te whakatairanga tonu. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Me titiro wawe ki te whai wāhi atu a te whānau. E ai ki te whānau, kāhore i te mārama ki a rātou ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi. Tāpiri atu ki tēnā, i te taenga atu a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kōhanga reo, kāhore i te wātea ngā meneti o ngā hui ā-whānau. Nā tēnā, kāhore e tino māramahia ana mehemea kei te rawaka te whai wāhi mai a te whānau, kei te whiwhi rānei rātou i ngā whai wāhitanga ki te hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo. Ahakoa te tangongitanga matawhānui o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga, kāhore te whānau e tino mārama ana ki te whai pānga o ērā ki ngā mahi i te kōhanga reo. E whakatau tahi ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau, kua tae ki te wā kia whakawhanakehia e te whānau tētahi rongoā ka whakatutuki tika i ā rātou kawenga mahi ki te kōhanga reo. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te whakatau ngātahi a te whānau i ngā whakaritenga.
He kaupapa here tā te whānau mō te ārai tamariki, ā, e mōhio ana rātou e tika ana kia hakune ā rātou mahi ki te whakatairanga ake i tō rātou mōhiotanga me tō rātou māramatanga ki te Children's Act 2014. E takune ana te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te whai wāhi atu ki ētahi atu wānanga me ētahi atu whakangungu, kia mārama ake ai rātou ki ā rātou kawenga e whakatutuki ai i ngā takohanga o te ture. E whakatau ana hoki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i taua aronga, ā, e tautoko ana i te aronga pū ki te haumaru me te waiora o ngā mokopuna.
Ahakoa e kapo ana te mahere rautaki i te tirohanga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna, kua tae ki te wā kia whakawhanakehia tētahi mahere mahi e aroturuki ai i te ahu whakamua o ngā whāinga rautaki. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te aronga nahanaha ki te toitūtanga mō meāke nei.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha a te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai pānga nui ai ki te waiora o ngā tamariki, arā, ki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, ā, ka arotake i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
Hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri te whānau ki te:

E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia mahi tonu te whānau ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, kia whai tautoko rātou ki te whakawhanake i tētahi mahere mahi ka whakatutuki i ngā take i tautuhia ai ki ngā whakaritenga matua i tēnei pūrongo kia whāia.

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 Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Wha is situated in Maraenui, Napier. Four generations have been dedicated to the kōhanga reo for over 30 years. Whānau aspire for mokopuna to feel safe, secure and foster a strong sense of belonging.
Mokopuna show their contentment through calm and positive engagement with their peers.
Mokopuna learn in an environment where positive relationships are fostered. Kaimahi model compassion, kindness and respect in their interactions with mokopuna. They assist mokopuna to learn about tikanga and kawa of their whare kōhanga reo through formalities such as mihi whakatau. Mokopuna enjoy sharing their knowledge of the kōhanga reo whakapapa through waiata. Kaimahi utilise various strategies such as prompts, repetition and instruction to support mokopuna language development. Additionally, mokopuna learn about the structure and purpose of language through karakia and mihimihi. Mokopuna easily follow routines and interact appropriately throughout their environment. They actively participate in a variety of activities to express and interpret their understanding. The indoor learning space accommodates both group and individual needs. Kaimahi consistently commend mokopuna for their efforts and accomplishments. Mokopuna are happy and settled in their interactions with others.
Mokopuna learning needs are catered for, monitored, and reported. Kaimahi engage in collaborative efforts to plan the mahere ako. This includes annual, term and weekly plans and identifies programme content, activities, resourcing and strategies for implementation. Kōnae mokopuna are used to display samples of work including learning stories that track individual mokopuna progress. Matai i te katoa o te mokopuna highlights the holistic development of each mokopuna. Kaimahi regularly reflect on their practices to strengthen and respond to mokopuna needs and use programme evaluation to measure quality of learning outcomes for mokopuna. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative practices underpinned by whanaungatanga.
Whānau have most systems in place to manage their kōhanga reo. The tūtohinga defines processes and sets out a planned approach and direction for whānau. Kaimahi regularly carry out emergency evacuations for fire, earthquake and tsunami. Documented health and safety registers are in place. The annual plan is well set out and identifies overall operational tasks and when these are to be completed. Personnel matters are appropriately maintained. Kaimahi employment documentation includes individual employment agreements, position descriptions and verified kaimahi safety checks. Appraisals are complete and focus on increasing kaimahi knowledge particularly aimed at continuous enhancement. Mokopuna are the centre of whānau whakahaere practices.
Whānau participation requires attention. Whānau shared they are not clear about their roles and responsibilities. Additionally, whānau hui minutes were not available during the onsite visit. As a result, it is not clear that there is sufficient input from whānau, or that they are provided with opportunities to contribute to the development of the kōhanga reo. While there are a comprehensive range of policies and procedures in place, whānau lack understanding of how these influence what happens in the kōhanga reo. ERO and the whānau agree the need has arisen for whānau to develop a solution that will adequately meet their responsibilities to the kōhanga reo. Mokopuna would benefit from collaborative whānau decision making.
The whānau have a Child Protection Policy in place and they acknowledge the need to be intentional in their ongoing efforts to enhance awareness and understanding of the Children’s Act 2014. Whānau and kaimahi intend to engage in further wānanga and training to better understand their commitment in fulfilling the obligations of the Act. ERO agrees with this and acknowledges the emphasis on prioritising mokopuna safety and wellbeing.
Whilst the strategic plan captures the vision and aspirations of whānau for mokopuna, it is time to develop an action plan to monitor the progress of the strategic objectives. Mokopuna benefit from a planned approach to future sustainability.
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.
To meet compliance requirements, they must:
ERO recommend that whānau continue to work alongside the Tari-ā-Rohe for support to develop an action plan to address the areas of concerns identified the key next steps of this report.

He kōhanga reo noho tāone Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā, ki Ahuriri. Neke atu i te 30 o ngā tau, kua noho pūmau ngā whakatupuranga e whā o tētahi whānau ki tēnei kōhanga reo. Ko tā rātou aronga, ko te whakarauora i te kōhanga reo.
Kua whakatinanahia e te whānau tētahi mahere rautaki mō ngā tau e rima, hei ārahi i tā rātou ahu whakamua, ā, hei hāpai anō hoki i a rātou ki te whakatutuki i ngā whakarerekētanga nō nā tata tonu nei i pā mai ai.
I tāutu te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ko tētahi wāhanga hei whakawhanake ake, ko te whakamahere rautaki, inā koa, ko ngā hononga ki ngā whāinga reo Māori o Te Ara Tūāpae.
Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou oranga ki te kōhanga reo, ā-whatumanawa, ā-tinana, ā-wairua hoki.
Ka rongo ngā tamariki i ngā hononga e whai pūtake ana. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki papai hei ārahi, hei whakahaere hoki i te whanonga o ngā tamariki. Ka whakatauira ngā tuākana i te whanonga e tūmanakohia ana mō ō rātou tēina. He pakari, he atawhai hoki tō te taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki ngā kaimahi, ngā mātua, me te whānau. Ka whakakoia ngā kaimahi me ngā mātua i ia te wā, i te angitu me ngā whakatutukitanga o ngā tamariki. Ka rongo ngā tamariki i te manaaki, te aroha, me te rangimārie ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka whakatutukihia ngā matea o ngā tamariki. He pai te rere ngāwari o ngā mahinga, ā, e māramahia ana ēnei e ngā tamariki. Ka āta mātakina ngā tēina i ngā wā katoa, ā, ka kai, ka mōhio rātou i te wā e hiahiatia ana e rātou. He tau, he aroha hoki tō te taiao o ngā tamariki.
Ka whakaratohia ki ngā tamariki tētahi hōtaka akoranga whakahihiri i āta whakatakotohia ai, ā, ka tino whakahaerehia hoki. E āhei ana ngā tamariki ki te whai i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga, ā, he pārekareka ki a rātou te waiata, te katakata, me te kanikani. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki e whai hua ana ki te hāpai i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te ako ki te kōhanga reo.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i te taha wairua. Ka ako ngā tamariki i te whai pānga nui o Ranginui, o Papatūānuku, me ētahi atu atua. Ka ako rātou i ngā atua mā ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, me ngā tūmomo kaupapa mahi. He harikoa, he tau hoki ngā tamariki ki tō rātou kōhanga reo.
Ka whai wāhi atu hoki ngā tamariki ki ngā tikanga me ngā uaratanga tuku iho. Ko ngā kaimahi ētahi tino kaumātua o Ngāti Kahungunu. Ka kite ngā tamariki i a rātou hei kaikōrero, hei kaikaranga, hei kaiwaiata hoki ki te kōhanga reo me te marae. Ka tautoko ngā tamariki i ngā kaumātua i roto i ngā karakia me ngā waiata. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā mahi a te tangata whenua, nā ō rātou kaumātua.
Kei te pakari haere te whakamahinga o ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. E āhei ana rātou ki te whai i ngā tohutohu, me te whakautu i ngā pātai me ngā kīanga māmā, ā, ka tū hoki ki te ārahi mā te tautoko hoki o ngā kaimahi. Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki ngā wā ka pānui pukapuka reo Māori tētahi ki a rātou, ā, he pai hoki ki a rātou te kōrero mō ngā kōrero i rangona ai e rātou. Ka whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i ngā tūmomo whakapaoho ki ngā tamariki, hei whakawhānui ake i te whakawhanaketanga o tō rātou reo Māori. Ka tino tautokona te puāwai o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Ka whakamaheretia, ka aromatawaihia hoki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. He pakari te whakamahere a te whānau me ngā kaimahi i ngā kaupapa mā ngā tamariki. He matawhānui ngā mahere, ā, ka arotahi ki te waiora o ngā tamariki me tō rātou reo Māori. Ka tino whakaaro huritao ngā kaimahi, ā, kua tāutuhia te maha o ngā kaupapa matua hei whakapai ake i te hōtaka a ngā tamariki me te taiao. He whānui ngā tūmomo whakaritenga aromatawai, ā, ka āta kitea te ahu whakamua me ngā whakatutuki i roto i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā te mārama o ngā mahere, te aromātai hōtaka, me te aromatawai.
Ko te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki ētahi tino kaupapa matua ki te whānau. Ka hāpaitia tō rātou oranga nā te mārama o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Kei te whakamahia ngā rehita me ngā tiwhikete e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, ā, ka hāngai hoki ki tēnei wā. Ko te oranga ā-whatumanawa, ā-tinana, ā-hinengaro hoki e whakapūmautia ana nā te pai o ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru.
Arotakengia ai ngā whakahaeretanga a ngā tamariki i te kōhanga reo i ia te wā, mā ngā huarahi ōpaki me ngā huarahi ōkawa. Pūrongotia ai te hōtaka akoranga ki ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā. Ka āta tātari te whānau i te whai huatanga o ngā pūnaha whakahaere. He tino māramatanga tō rātou mō ngā take whakahaere o tēnei wā. Kua tāutuhia, kua whakamaheretia hoki e rātou ngā mahi rautaki hei whakatutuki i aua take. He tau ngā pūnaha pūtea a te whānau, ā, ka arotahi rātou ki te whakatupu i te taha pūtea. He whāinga wā roa, he whāinga wā poto hoki ki te mahere rautaki, ā, ka hāngai tēnei ki Te Ara Tūāpae me ngā hiahia o te kōhanga reo i tēnei wā. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te whakapai tonutanga mō te ako me te waiora o ngā tamariki.
Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā te whakapiki ake i te āheinga ngaio o ngā kaimahi. E whakaae ana te whānau, ko te whakamahere i te tauatanga tētahi aronga rautaki. Ka whai pānga matua te whakawhanaketanga ngaio ki te whakapakaritanga o te āheinga o ngā kaimahi. Kua tāutuhia e te whānau tētahi hōtaka whakangungu, whakawhanaketanga hoki e hāngai pū ana ki ngā kaimahi.
Ka taea te whakawhānui ake te reo Māori o ngā tamariki. He whāinga tā te whānau ki te whakapiki ake i ngā pūkenga reo o ngā kaimahi me ngā mātua. Ka hāpai tēnei i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo me te kāinga. Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki te hōhonutanga o tētahi taiao reo Māori.
I te wā o te arotake, 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 whakawhanake Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā ki te hapori o Maraenui, ki Ahuriri. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou oranga ā-whatumanawa, ā-tinana, ā-wairua hoki ki te kōhanga reo. Ka rongo ngā tamariki i ngā tikanga me ngā uaratanga tuku iho. Kei te puāwai mai tā rātou kōrero i te reo Māori. He tirohanga tā te whānau, kia eke angitu te whai wāhi atu a ngā tamariki ki te ao.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā is an urban kōhanga reo in Napier. Four generations of one whānau have been committed to the kōhanga reo for over 30 years. Their focus is the revitalisation of the kōhanga reo.
The whānau has implemented a five year strategic plan to guide their future direction and to support them to address recent changes.
The previous ERO report identified strategic planning and in particular links to te reo Māori goals of Te Ara Tūāpae as an area for development.
Children show that they are emotionally, physically and spiritually well in the kōhanga reo.
Children experience meaningful relationships. Kaimahi use positive strategies to guide and manage children’s behaviour. Tuakana model expected behaviour to their teina. Children interact confidently and affectionately with kaimahi, parents and whānau. The kaimahi and parents regularly affirm children’s success and achievements. Children experience manaaki, aroha and rangimārie at the kōhanga reo.
Children’s needs are catered for. Routines flow smoothly and are understood by children. Teina are well supervised at all times and eat and sleep as they need to. Children are in a secure and loving environment.
Children are provided with an interesting learning programme that is structured and well managed. Children are able to follow their own interests and love to sing, laugh and dance. Kaimahi use effective strategies that support children’s learning. Children enjoy learning at the kōhanga reo.
Children are learning about te taha wairua. Children learn about the significance of Ranginui, Papatūānuku and other atua. They learn about atua Māori through karakia, hīmene and kaupapa activities. Children are happy and settled in their kōhanga reo.
Children experience traditional tikanga and values. Kaimahi are respected Ngāti Kahungunu kaumātua. Children observe them in their roles as kaikōrero, kaikaranga, and kaiwaiata at the kōhanga reo and marae. The children support the elders with karakia and waiata. Children learn about tangata whenua roles from their kaumātua.
Children use te reo Māori with increasing confidence. They are able to follow instructions, respond to simple questions and phrases and take lead roles with support. Children enjoy being read to in te reo Māori and talking about the stories they hear. Kaimahi expose the children to different media to broaden their te reo Māori development. Children are well supported as emerging speakers of te reo Māori.
Children’s learning is planned for and assessed. Whānau and kaimahi confidently plan kaupapa for children. Plans are comprehensive and have a focus on children’s wellbeing and te reo Māori. Kaimahi are highly reflective thinkers and have identified several priorities to improve the children’s programme and environment. Assessment practices are varied and clearly show children’s learning progress and achievement. Children benefit from clear planning, programme evaluation and assessment.
Children’s health and safety are key priorities for the whānau. Their wellbeing is supported through clear health and safety policies and procedures. The health and safety registers and certificates are functioning and current. Children’s emotional, physical and mental wellbeing is sustained through satisfactory health and safety practices.
The children’s kōhanga reo operations are regularly reviewed informally and formally. Reporting on the learning programme at the whānau hui is a regular practice. The whānau carefully analyse the effectiveness of management systems. They have a clear understanding of current operational issues. They have identified and planned strategic actions to address these issues. The kōhanga reo has sound financial systems and the whānau are focused on financial growth. Strategic planning has long-term and short-term goals which align with Te Ara Tūāpae and the current needs of the kōhanga reo. The whānau is committed to ongoing improvements for children’s learning and wellbeing.
Children will benefit from increased professional capability building of kaimahi. The whānau agree that succession planning is a strategic focus. Professional development is vital to build the kaimahi capability. Whānau have identified a programme of training and development for targeted kaimahi.
Children’s te reo Māori can be further extended. Whānau have a goal to increase the language skills of the kaimahi and parents. This will support the children’s language development at the kōhanga reo and at home. Children will be immersed in a richer te reo Māori environment.
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.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
Te Kōhanga reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā seeks support from the Kahungunu district staff to support kaimahi training, te reo Māori development and refining of operations procedures.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā is in the suburb of Maraenui, Napier. Children show that they are emotionally, physically and spiritually well in the kōhanga reo. Children experience traditional tikanga and values. They are developing as emerging speakers of te reo Māori. Whānau have a vision for children to be successful citizens of the world.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā will be in three years.

He kino ngā pūrongo o mua mō Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā. I raro ia Mana Whenua i te pūrongo o 2010 i tāutu ngā rauemi kāore i te haumaru, te wāhitakarepa o ngā tuhinga aituā, te āhua o te peita, me te makariri o te whare he wāhi hei whakapai ake.

Te whakamahi tōtika i ngā rauemi. He māmā te whai wāhi me te whakamahi o ngā tamariki i ngā rauemi kei te kōhanga. He pai te whakamahi i ngā rauemi a taiao. Ka hāpai te wāhi māhorahora o waho, te māra, ki reira ka whakamahi ngā wāriu pērā i te kaitiakitanga me te manaakitanga, te marae me te ratonga mahi i te tuhura me te ako o ngā tamariki.

Kei te whiwhi pukenga, whiwhi kaha te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga me te tipu ake o tō rātou mātātoa ki te whai wāhi ki ngā mahi o te kōhanga.
I kitea te pūrongo o 2010 kāore te whānau i te whai wāhi ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga, rānei ki te whakarato i ngā tautoko mō ngā kaimahi me te hōtaka akoranga.

E tūtohu ana te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia:
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.
This supplementary review is based on an evaluation of the performance of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whagoverning body and management in relation to areas identified in the February 2010 ERO report or issues identified since that review. The terms of reference for this review are to investigate:
| Location | Napier |
| Ministry of Education profile number | 55432 |
| Type | Kōhanga Reo |
| Number licensed for | 10 including 5 under 2 years old |
| Roll number | 10 including 0 under 2 years old |
| Gender composition | Girls 6 Boys 4 |
| Ethnic composition | Māori 10 |
| Review team onsite | February 2012 |
| Date of this report | May 2012 |
| Previous ERO reports | Education Review, February 2010 Supplementary Review, January 2005 Education Review, January 2004 |
Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā Kōhanga Reo is situated in the Napier suburb of Maraenui. Children who attend the kōhanga live nearby and many have whakapapa links to the kuia who started the kōhanga. The kōhanga environment is an important learning resource for children.
The 2010 report identified areas for concern under Mana Whenua and planning and evaluation. The report stated that there were limited resources and identified health and safety concerns. Several areas under planning and evaluation required improvement. These included whānau participation, commitment and management. The strategic plan needed further development and self review practice was limited. Planning, assessment and evaluation were additional issues identified as areas needing improvement.
Through self review and support from the wider whānau, extensive progress has been made in addressing the concerns from the previous report. The learning programme is child centred and attempts to meet the interests of children, using the resources available to them. Kaimahi use the interests of children to plan a programme that is responsive to their interests. Kaimahi have built a strong partnership with whānau who play an active part in their children’s learning.
The whānau manages the kōhanga well. The kaiwhakahaere has developed clear systems to assist her do this. All non-compliances identified in the 2010 report have been addressed. It is now timely for the whānau to link their strategic goals to Te Ara Tūāpae.
Whānau and kaimahi receive ongoing and excellent support from the wider kōhanga whānau. They have effectively incorporated the support and guidance into kōhanga practice. Through self review and ongoing evaluation kaimahi have identified areas in their practice that require further development.
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.
Ngā Uri o Ngā Hau e Whā te Kōhanga Reo has had a poor reporting history. Under Mana Whenua, the 2010 report identified unsafe equipment, lack of accident records, flaking paint and inadequate heating as areas for improvement. Resources in the kōhanga were limited in quality and quantity. Kaimahi needed training on how to use resources more effectively.
Effective use of resources. Children have easy access to and use existing resources well. Good use is made of environmental resources. The large outdoor area, the garden where values such as kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga are practised, the local marae and the bus service support children to explore and learn. Children are developing as confident learners.
Health and safety issues. Whānau have addressed all health and safety concerns. These related to the supervision of children, recording of accidents and addressing hazards in the environment.
Whānau support. Whānau whānui actively encourage kōhanga development. The kuia, who has had extensive involvement in the kōhanga, continues to support te reo Māori development, ngā tikanga and the kaupapa. Effective professional support is provided by the kaupapa kaimahi, purapura and a neighbouring kōhanga. The newly appointed kaiwhakahaere and kaimahi work effectively to develop a learning programme and kōhanga systems that meet the needs and interests of children and their whānau. Whānau are gaining skills and confidence in management and are becoming actively involved in the life of the kōhanga.
The 2010 report found that the whānau did not participate in the management of the kōhanga or provide support for kaimahi and the learning programme. Strategic plans needed further clarification. Whānau use of self review was limited. Kaimahi needed to improve their knowledge about assessment, programme planning and evaluation. Prior to this review, there was uncertainty about the kōhanga remaining open. However, the whānau has come together to try to address the concerns of outside agencies in an effort to keep the kōhanga operational.
Whānau participation and commitment. Kōhanga whānau have worked together to provide a welcoming environment. They actively participate in all aspects of kōhanga life.
Self-review. Kaiako have a good understanding of the purpose of self-review and provide whānau with direction for the evaluation of kōhanga practice. Increased involvement by whānau in the kōhanga has enabled them to identify and improve the kōhanga for children. Whānau and kaimahi are committed to ongoing improvement in the kōhanga.
Assessment, planning and evaluation. Assessment information in portfolios identifies each child’s learning. Extending and supporting activities for individual children are also noted. Consequently planning is based on the individual interests of children. Whānau are informed about their children’s development through the information in the portfolios. Whānau have opportunities to strengthen assessment information through their input. Kaupapa are planned with input from whānau.
Evaluation of the programme is ongoing. Kaimahi have been accessing models of good practice in kōhanga. This has provided them with sound criteria on which to base their programme evaluations. Children benefit from the commitment of kaimahi, who continually strengthen assessment, planning and evaluation practice.
Strategic planning. The whānau has a strategic plan which identifies kōhanga property development. This plan now needs to link to the reo Māori goal in Te Ara Tūāpae. Whānau and kaimahi need to develop, long and short term strategies to strengthen te reo Māori use in the kōhanga.
ERO recommends that:
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. Ani Rolleston National Manager Review Services Māori (Te Uepū ā-Motu)
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.

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.
Planning and Evaluation – in particular the quality of planning and evaluation. This area is most likely to support long term improvement. Implicit in this is the quality of whānau management and the quality of education.
Kōhanga Reo Priorities – based on Te Whāriki, the whānau through their management and programme, influence positive outcomes for tamariki.
Compliance with Legal Requirements – assurance that this kōhanga reo has taken all reasonable steps to meet legal requirements.
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.
