A nationwide scheme to help tackle child poverty will see families in Glasgow benefit from funded school-age childcare.
Children’s Minister Clare Haughey said: "Delivering our vision of a high-quality, affordable and accessible system of childcare is crucial to our national mission to tackle child poverty. It can help parents and carers to access work, training or study, while children benefit from additional opportunities to socialise and take part in a range of activities.
“Parents will be able to access employment opportunities while their children are enjoying activities delivered in a safe and nurturing environment.” It follows the success of the existing 1,140 hours of funded ELC offer for all three and four-year-olds and eligible two-year-olds. Early Years Scotland Chief Executive Jane Brumpton added: “We welcome the extension of the nursery rates relief scheme which will support the sector during these challenging times ahead.
