We are so upset this morning, another long term experienced provider getting out after decades of commitment to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 children due to the mess the 1140 has caused! Natalie Don-Innes MSP Our members are of the opinion that nothing has changed and they have little option but get out!

ScotGov Childcare Natalie Don-Innes MSP Education, Children and Young People Committee First Minister Anas Sarwar Meghan Gallacher MSP 2020 Together (We Can) PVI are abandoning this sinking ship in order to salvage their life’s investment. We warned of this John Swinney Natalie Don-Innes MSP and the pace of the exodus is now picking up.

Glasgow resident child who turns 3 in March 2025 already offered funding in a gcc nursery, but cannot even apply for funding in their current NLC nursery till Feb 2025, and if successful it wouldn’t start till Aug 2025 at earliest 🤔 FFtC Natalie Don-Innes MSP ScotGov Childcare ??? Shambles !!

Jim Natalie Don-Innes MSP ScotGov Childcare Postcode lottery 😡Funding does NOT follow the child 😡 PVI being driven out of business😡 more PVI nurseries up for sale now than any other time 😡 staff well being at lowest ebb ever 😡 our competitors (councils) have been supported by Scottish Government to destroy our sector 😡

A compelling and concise video message that highlights the root causes behind the crisis in the early childhood workforce. Bringing clarity of the national picture and urgency required to support an often overlooked issue.

As more and more councils set out their plans to offer additional childcare for private fees it provides clear evidence that Scottish Government hv given PVIs direct competitors the power to set our rates and restrict our income #anticompetitive this must surely be illegal Natalie Don-Innes MSP ???

Jim Scottish Government Natalie Don-Innes MSP Meanwhile we have a workforce on their knees and a scrutiny body ready to roll out yet another framework to beat them with. Who is going to press the stop button on this? x.com/coalitionedcar…
