Following a needs assessment to inform policy and practice for a community early years hub, a facilitated playgroup was commenced using a model identified by families. The aim was to provide a safe place for families of young children to gather and find support in an environment of relational and professional care and empowerment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Evaluation of demographic data and thematic analysis of focus group discussions allows a qualitative exploration of family and provider experience in the supported playgroup.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In its first year, the playgroup was attended by 61 families. Through shared relationships and structured health promotion action, families were empowered with an understanding of child development; six families received assistance with referral to a developmental specialist. Qualitative analysis identified three themes of learning from parents and grandparents, allied health providers, early childhood educators and volunteers, identifying a playgroup model to: \u2018reduce experience of social isolation among families\u2019, \u2018support families in understanding child development\u2019 and \u2018support families through physical space and provision\u2019. Relationality, safety and empowerment were interwoven among themes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A policy of shared vision is central to empowering families and reducing barriers to access to support for children's developmental health concerns.
