A BUDE nursery that has recently become part of the Preschool Learning Alliance held an open day for families on Saturday, March 23.

The alliance, a registered charity, is the largest early years organisation in England. When the nursery had difficulty recruiting volunteers to sit on the management committee, it approached the alliance.

With the alliance now in charge of management responsibilities, staff can focus on care and education for the children and has provided a "much stronger future for the nursery."
