@DaycareChnForum Put pressure on the government to lift the bubble restrictions by the end of this term opposed to in time for the new school year which appears to be the current plan. We want to be able to offer more summer holiday club spaces without having the challenges of kids in bubbles.

@HappydaysOsc @NicolaSturgeon @SOSCN @MareeToddMSP Our clients, our children, our staff, the communities we serve and our businesses deserve better than this. Loads of tweets about awesome ELC staff being back on Monday totally ignoring a big subsector which isn't.

5 years ago, @NicolaSturgeon sat on my sofa and talked about the importance of good quality childcare. Today, my after school club business remains closed to most clients with no end in sight & we're not even included in the strategic plan. The industry faces disaster.

@SOSCN @MareeToddMSP @MonicaLennon7 @PrimaryPlayCare @ELCScotGov yet again no mention of school age childcare? If P4-7 return 15th March can we open our services too? to all children & not just key workers & vulnerable kids? Our industry is always last to be considered

@soscn have already written very clearly outlining the situation faced by the out of school care sector. Excluded from grants, insufficiently funded for keyworker care, many have already closed and many more will. Let us open or support an industry which many parents rely on

@Simon_BFC @SOSCN @MareeToddMSP @ELCScotGov Yes the communication was poor - we (along with most others) found out from twitter. The families we serve rely on us and the entire sector is very fragile right now as @soscn have outlined clearly. We need clarity and support.

So I know it's not critical to all but it is to our organisation: when will Out of School Childcare be able to open to all primary aged children? @SOSCN @MareeToddMSP @ELCScotGov

Sad day today @ELCScotGov @MareeToddMSP @JohnSwinney as we sent out OSC permanent closure letters to our families 🥲 not much left to say that hasn’t already been said.

@frustratedbev @ELCScotGov It's over a week since the announcement of "grants" for providers who open but still no clarity on amount, timing etc. I know several forced to close because it's not viable to open for a handful. We want to help clients but 10 months in few can afford to run at a loss.

@ELCScotGov As OSC are now required to close, an adjustment of the business support grants is needed. Many/most OSC do not operate from rateable premises (many uses churches for example) and therefore are not eligible for the closed business support grants. This needs to change @soscn

Nurseries and all other childcare providers across Scotland should only open to key worker and vulnerable children from Boxing Day until at least 18 Jan. We are meeting sector reps on Monday morning to discuss impacts and will publish guidance ASAP.

IMPORTANT UPDATE about childcare following the First Minister’s statement. From Boxing Day, childminders can open to all children and should operate in accordance with Level 4 guidance (Level 3 in Island authorities).

@ELCScotGov Why on earth was this not covered in the statement? Childcare providers are trying to make plans and decisions for clients and staff, and we have to find out from twitter that we're being forced to close even though T4 allows us to open?

It's been a long 5 months, but we can't wait to welcome our families back to Daddy Daycare! Good luck for those starting back to school, childcare and work today!

@SOSCN That was my best guess too, but it's not at all clear and needs to be questioned and clarified very quickly. The lack of clarity of language, and understanding of the diversity of this sector, has been a total disgrace

@SOSCN John Swinney's response to a question today indicated that after school "clubs" may not be allowed to reopen with schools. Do you have any clarity on what he means here - regulated OSC providers are already permitted to open!

Being retweeted by @MareeToddMSP our Minister for Children and Young People. 😍 Being a parent of a 4 year old & Senior Early Years Practitioner. It is great to see that @MareeToddMSP is passionate about play, child led learning and promoting the outdoors. 👏 @ELCScotGov

@MartinGilmour29 @SOSCN it's very poor - services are in a position of parents being desperate for us to reopen but no idea what rules will be, and therefore of capacity.

@SOSCN Can I ask why the delay with the OOSC guidance? Early July now means that this guidance is almost a month later than expected and likely to arrive only slightly before services are able to open
