You Said:
The setting unit is “far too small for the amount of pupils it currently has”
We will: Continue to operate all ELC Settings in accordance with Care Inspectorate registration capacity, as a legal requirement. We have never exceeded the capacity at an ELC setting.
You said: More childcare needed for out of hours and school holidays
We will: Explore opportunities for the greater provision of childcare, where possible
We will: Continue our campaign to attract Funded Childminders in the area by offering financial incentives and support to register with the Care Inspectorate
You said: Delay in starting as an eligible 2 was very poor, but once started the service was excellent.
Response: Whilst we aim to place all Eligible 2YOs within a setting as close as possible, and as soon as possible, unfortunately, this can take time, given Care Inspectorate requirements for 2 year olds and the remote and rural nature of some of our settings, in relation to planned work requirements
You said: Staff are great at the ELC / I couldn’t be happier with the ELC / the service (at the setting) was excellent
We will: Ensure that all positive feedback is communicated to the individual settings and staff
