Your expertise and dedication was truly evident throughout the session, and I found the content immensely valuable in understanding the intricacies of what ERO ask for and look at when they visit a centre. Your ability to break down complex concepts into practice steps was particularly helpful as this will be my first ERO visit.
-
Thanks for an incredibly productive day. Very affirming and reassuring.
-
I highly appreciate today’s workshop.
It was a beautiful reminder on a kaiako’s heart and the amazingness of what our children bring.
Big thank you.
-
So many ‘aha’ moments I had today, the best one I have learn today is to think for ‘why’ - ‘how’ - ‘what’ rather than focussing on the goal.
-
Three pages of notes and to do lists to process & incorporate into our practice. Thank you. Great day, learnt a lot. Lots of work to do. Thanks agin.

I really like both of your Kōrero, extending my knowledge and understanding. Thank you
-
Anita and Raechel you created a safe space to kōrero and share ideas, thank you.
-
I’m really excited to go and collect and begin this journey with pūrākau.
-
That you can use nature to tell stories, how to use pūrākau in ECE and the importance of using them.
-
A reminder of the imporatnce with pūrākau and how simple it can be to weave these into our curriculum. It doesn’t need to be complex, or hard.
-
Valued whakaaro shared by Anita and Raechel - after we hard our pūrākau as it helped us to reflect and gave perspective.
