Equity Index
Wanaexcel Education Hub 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 age
As at July 2025, based on 107 children on the roll.
Children by ethnicity
Percentages may add up to more than 100%, since a child can be recorded under more than one ethnicity.
