ARGYLL and Bute Council is making progress in preparing for the Scottish Government’s plans to increase funded early learning and childcare (ELC) from 600 hours to 1,140 hours per year by 2020.
At a meeting of the Community Services Committee on Thursday December 14, members heard how plans are being put in place by the council to prepare for the changes.
The roll-out of increased hours will begin on in 2018 and continue to 2020. Parents will be consulted in each area prior to the extension of hours.
