The Scottish Government has commissioned an independent researcher called Progressive Partnership to undertake a survey of parents following the increase in funded ELC entitlement to 1,140 hours in August 2021. This survey will inform future government policy direction in terms of funded ELC. The Survey will explore views from parents and carers of children aged under 6 who have not yet started school.
The researcher is interested in hearing from parents whose children are in a wide variety of ELC settings, including school nurseries, playgroups, private/third sector nurseries, family centres and childminders and is also keen to hear the views of parents whose children are not in funded ELC.
The link to the survey is noted below and we have been asked to promote this across ELC settings and with childminders.All data will be strictly confidential and anonymised.
