Equity Index
Riverton Childcare has an Equity Index rating of "EQI > 5" on the Ministry of Education's 1–4 scale for early childhood services. A lower number means the service draws more of its enrolled children from lower socio-economic communities, making it eligible for additional government funding. This is a different scale to the schools Equity Index (344–569) and the two should never be compared directly.

Children by ethnicity
Percentages may add up to more than 100%, since a child can be recorded under more than one ethnicity.
