We’re representing you on a local and national level

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

Since 2005, NDNA Scotland has had a key role in supporting the Scottish Government to provide the best quality early years provision in day nurseries.  

We’ve contributed to the development of childcare policy and practice through strategic policy and planning groups, consultation events and stakeholder meetings with nurseries, gathering and analysing the impact of government policies, guidance and passing on best practice.
