Purnima Tanuku and Ann McEwanWe’re representing you on a local and national level

To make sure the voice of nurseries in Scotland is heard loud and clear, we work with our members in Scotland to represent the sector to government, local authorities and the media.

We contribute to the development of childcare policy and practice through strategic policy and planning groups, consultation events and stakeholder meetings with nurseries. 

We gather and analyse the impact of government policies, guidance and pass on best practice.
