The fourth round of the Scottish Government's Early Learning and Childcare Inclusion Fund is still open to applications, with the deadline approaching on Monday 2 December.
The ELC Inclusion Fund provides funding to ELC settings, including childminding services, to support children with additional support needs (ASN) in Scotland access their funded ELC entitlement. The Fund provides additional funding to enable staff to access appropriate training, fund resources, equipment and adaptations for the setting.
As a childminder you may be caring for young children with ASN and applying for this funding could enable you to support their needs better as part of their funded ELC.
The application deadline for this round of the ELC Inclusion Fund is 12pm on Monday 2 December 2019. If you are interested and to find out if you are eligible to apply
