What is an ERO Report?

The Education Review Office (ERO) is the New Zealand government department that evaluates and reports on the education and care of students in schools and early childhood services.

ERO’s reports are used by parents, teachers, early childhood education managers, school principals and trustees, and by government policy makers.

The Chief Review Officer formally designates individual review officers to carry out reviews in schools and early childhood centres.

Refer to the Link below to the Official Education Review Site, or the link to the right, which is the detailed report for The Children’s Corner.

Feedback from our parents

We knew that The Children's Corner was the right pre-school for our son from the moment we walked in for our visit and now our daughter has also joined. No matter if it's the environment or the teachers it made us feel welcome and part of the family. All the teachers are passionate and caring and goes above and beyond for the children, nurturing them, guiding them and stimulating them to reach their full potential. The children are learning the important values of respect, care, politeness, confidence and independence during their time at school, and this will be an important foundation for them as they grow older. We love how all the teachers are constantly communicating with us on the children's progress whether it is their learning or emotional wellbeing. They genuinely care for each child as well as our whole family. Our children look forward to going to school each day and come home each day fulfilled and happy. They often surprise us with what they have learnt at school (knowing the names of the planets to singing days of the week in maori). As parents we are continuing to learn how to raise our children and the teachers at The Children's Corner provide wonderful support to us which I can never thank them enough.

Charlie has been attending the Children’s corner for close to a year now. We chose the Children’s Corner as it is a small preschool with fantastic teachers who have all been there a long time. We love the Montessori approach and Charlie has come so far since he started at the Children’s Corner. I am blown away with everything he has learnt in such a short time and it is wonderful to see his confidence building. Charlie loves coming to preschool which makes drop offs fantastic and we feel 100% happy as we know he is always in such good hands. The teachers are fantastic, always warm and welcoming, we can’t recommend the Children’s Corner enough.

We had never really heard much about Montessori before we visited children's corner but I knew it was the perfect environment for my son the moment we visited. The Montessori philosophy has nurtured his independence and confidence in leaps and bounds. We will forever be grateful to the teachers who have supported Quinn's development. But more than anything we feel like the teachers at TCC are our extended family who care so deeply for all the kids and have created a safe, caring and fun environment. As a parent I feel supported and happy knowing that Quinn is thriving under the Montessori teachings and have also enrolled our youngest to start next year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the children's corner to any parent wanting to give their child a great start in Montessori
