To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) any reasons why Groomsport Playgroup, despite having capacity for 26 children and delivering the Department's 22.5-hour model, has been allocated only 14 funded places; (ii) whether its allocation can be reviewed and increased to 26 funded places for September 2027; and (iii) the reason why the Playgroup information is incorrectly described by the Education Authority as part-time only, despite their transition to the 22.5- hour model.
