Wow! Now almost 1,5 million people all over the world have signed our plea to for world leaders to end the climate betrayal during #COP26 . People are mobilising and rising together. Sign here: secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/cl…

@ELCScotGov @MareeToddMSP Delighted that the sector has been listened too, but this doesn't go far enough. It still leaves us vulnerable to not be here on the other side of the elections.

Children’s Minister @MareeToddMSP has recorded a short video for the School Age Childcare sector ⬇️✨ The video talks about new funding, the SAC progress report & 3 new pilot projects, all announced today. Read more ➡️ gov.scot/news/support-f…

@MareeToddMSP @JohnSwinney @ELCScotGov not much help for out of school care services without funding to support it - when will this be announced?

@elc1140 @ELCScotGov @MareeToddMSP @JohnSwinney @MareeToddMSP @JohnSwinney why are you allowing this to happen? School aged childcare will be needed to support the recovery of both the children and the economy #supportOSC

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.

@kirknursery @elc1140 @ELCScotGov @MareeToddMSP @JohnSwinney @MareeToddMSP @JohnSwinney why are you allowing school aged childcare to close when you are going to need it rebuild the country for the children, parents and the economy - wake up #supportOSC

@elc1140 @ELCScotGov @MareeToddMSP @JohnSwinney Our OSC was a casualty of lockdown 1. We served the community for over 70 families for over 25 years. It’s so sad to hear on a daily basis how much other providers are struggling and being forced to also close the doors permanently. 😔

@ELCScotGov @MareeToddMSP @JohnSwinney @EducationScot @CareInspect @CaFTeam @COSLA @earlyyearsscot @NdnaScotland @ScotChildmind @CALAchildcare @MareeToddMSP @ELCScotGov gratitude and recognition is a great sentiment but doesn't pay the bills. OSC services are closing due to lack of funding and if something isn't done soon many more will follow #supportOSC

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 ✨Thank you to all childcare staff including childminders, practitioners, school aged childcare staff & the whole childcare community for everything you do to make sure children & families feel loved, nurtured & cared for in these challenging times✨ ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

@ELCScotGov @scotgov @MareeToddMSP @COSLA_CYP @COSLA Absolutely necessary give children the best start we can, but what about when they start school, we need to carry on with this support by funding OSC

The legislation to reinstate 1140 hours of funded ELC to all eligible children by August 2021 has today been laid in Scottish Parliament. This reconfirms @scotgov ambition for Scotland’s children to grow, reach their full potential and secure positive outcomes for children. ✨

Interesting read especially love call to action 5 @SOSCN @scotgovchildcare @MareeToddMSP @MonicaLennon7 @NicolaSturgeon gov.scot/publications/n…

@ELCScotGov @MareeToddMSP @earlyyearsscot @ScotChildmind @NdnaScotland @CALAchildcare @COSLA_CYP @CareInspect @EducationScot What about if we can't open? Furlough is not enough to cover all organisational costs We are vital to the recovery of our children and our economy

Today we have updated information on the childcare sector Temporary Restrictions Fund, including grant levels and eligibility. 1/2

@ELCScotGov @MareeToddMSP @earlyyearsscot @cisweb @ScotChildmind @NdnaScotland @CALAchildcare @CaFTeam @COSLA_CYP @COSLA @CareInspect OSC services are hanging on by a thread, we spent Aug to Dec with low numbers so losing money and now have to close as numbers even worse. How will Scot Gov rebuild the broken economy without good quality childcare? Help us survive so we can be here to help the recovery

ℹ️ Further information about the Deputy First Minister’s announcement today on financial support for providers is available here ⬇️ gov.scot/publications/c…
