The Statutory Consultation on Early Learning and Childcare in East Ayrshire Council is now open
Education authorities have a statutory duty under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 to consult with a representative group of parents and carers with children under school age in their area about how they should make early learning and childcare available.
We have created two surveys for parents, carers and prospective parents and carers residing in East Ayrshire in order to hear their views on early learning and childcare in our authority. The surveys will be open for 3 weeks from the 31st May.
The views of parents and carers are important to us and will be used to inform the future delivery of early learning and childcare in East Ayrshire Council so please take 5 minutes to complete this survey if you are a parent or carer of a child or children currently accessing funded early learning and childcare: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/1C7NKT/
Or, if you are a parent or carer of a baby or young child or a prospective parent or carer not yet accessing early learning and childcare please take two minutes to share your views with us using this link: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/SLIBOJ/
We will also be seeking the views of children as part of the Statutory Consultation.
If you would like more information about the Statutory Consultation please contact EarlyYears-Admin@east-ayrshire.gov.uk.
Your support with this important exercise is much appreciated. Continue reading Statutory consultation on ELC

The children have been practicing some nursery rhymes within the ECC. Our nursery rhyme for this week is Humpty Dumpty. Lets help our little ones by practicing at home too.
Here is a little game you can try at home with your little ones to encourage speech and describing words while taking turns. Give your child time to think and answer. This game can be made harder if you feel your child needs challenged.
Please remember tomorrow is
World Book Day
To celebrate we are focusing on the importance of bedtime stories! Please come to nursery in your favourite pyjamas and enjoy some lovely stories with the ladies.
We had lots of fun celebrating Burn’s Day last week.
Some children dressed in tartan, we explored haggis, neeps & tatties in the tuff tray and porridge oats in the trough. We used cars & paint to create tartan prints.
We danced to Scottish music and listened to Scottish poems and watched the primary schools Burns supper on Teams.
For snack we had haggis, neeps and tatties finished off with some shortbread!
