Do you have an ERO report?
Education Review Office (ERO) reports external reviews of our setting. As part of our compliance and licensing criteria, all early childhood services within Aotearoa/NZ are reviewed by an external government body called the Education Review Office (ERO). All services are visited by ERO within the first two years of operation. Once we have had our initial review you will find a link to the most recent centre review on our website, and on the ERO webpage.
