A series of five infographics designed to support schools interested in establishing, expanding and sustaining early years provision on their site.
These practical top tips summarise key learning from a series of in-depth interviews conducted in 2025 with leaders from a diverse range of school-based nurseries (SBNs). They are designed to help all schools in their planning for both established and new SBNs and cover a range of themes:
- Financial sustainability
- Staffing, recruitment and CPD
- Adapting the school environment for nursery provision
- Leadership and governance
Plus, there's a useful checklist for schools thinking about setting up their own nursery provision.
