Key milestones= exploring a long-term venue (Nov 2024), partnership bid for the DfE School-Based Nursery programme, change of playgroup management committee {Feb 2025), a successful Ofsted inspection (April 2025) and award of the School-Based Nursery grant, followed by active planning for relocation to the local infant school site (April- July 2025). Leadership and governance In February 2025 the committee changed officers.. a new chair, treasurer and secretary were elected. This brought fresh energy and clearer accountability to governance. The strengthened committee contributed to the successful grant bid and playgroup staff were actively involved in managing the practical planning for the move. The playgroup received a positive Ofsted inspection in April 2025. This gives external assurance of the standard of care and early education. Strategic development and partnership working From November 2024 the playgroup explored options for a new long-term venue to allow extended hours and better meet family need. The partnership with the local school to submit the DfE bid was an important strategic step.

Planning since April 2025 has focused on the practicalities of relocating to the infant school site= site adaptations, safeguarding arrangements, staffing and maintaining continuity of high-quality provision for children and families. Conclusion The playgroup has made strong progress this year.. refreshed governance, external validation from Ofsted, success in securing the School-Based Nursery grant and practical planning to relocate to an on-site venue that better meets local family needs.
