@lesleyrbrown @NicolaMcDowell9 @CraigWHoy1 @NDNAtalk @RuthDavidsonPC @haughey_clare @LexyTopping @SueJWebber Axed childcare funding means over 150 families will need to move their children from great nurseries (with good inspectorate reports) with no thought to GIRFEC

[Jen Paton @JenPaton20]

@ELCouncil care to comment on how you meet the @CareInspect ‘weak’ criteria with your current treatment of 208 children in East Lothian? @PaulMcLennan7 @CraigWHoy1 @KennyMacAskill @NicolaSturgeon @STVNews @gordonchree @haughey_clare @girfec @EducationScot

No care or impact assessments, no reports, no solutions for 208 families facing financial peril due to axed childcare funding @NDNAtalk @BBCScotlandNews @scotgov @NicolaMcDowell9 @lesleyrbrown @CraigWHoy1 @RuthDavidsonPC @PaulMcLennan7 @berwick_news @elcourier @shaminakhtar

Mums/Dads/Carers:Imagine you got told that in 3 weeks time you had to a) pay £550 extra in childcare OR b) move your child to a different nursery which opens after you start work/shuts before you can get back. This is what is happening in East Lothian to 208 families @ELCouncil

[pumpkinppcouncil @pumpkinppcounc1]

@NDNAtalk please see our tweets re funding for children’s nurseries having been removed by @ELCouncil

[STV News @STVNews]

'Being given three weeks notice to the decision is just woeful.'

More than a 150 families face a £500 rise to childcare bills after East Lothian Council cuts ties with nurseries.

@pumpkinppcounc1 @ELCouncil Perhaps @PaulMcLennan7 will be able to explain why three separate nurseries and their service users are being punished for alleged failings of another Bright Stars setting when the care inspectorate has not raised any issues about those other nurseries?

As if mums don't already feel pushed out of the work force. This is shocking @ELCouncil

[Rosie Arthur @drrosiearthur]

@pumpkinppcounc1 @ELCouncil Such a terrible situation

[Philip Paton @PHILDO5308]

@pumpkinppcounc1 @ELCouncil Absolutely shocking with such little notice. I can't imagine the stress this will put on parents trying their best to work and raise their kids.

Parents of young children in North Berwick are in crisis. The funding for 3-5 year olds nursery care at Pumpkin Patch Nursery has been removed by @ELCouncil with less than 4 weeks notice, despite clear evidence of excellent care and NO alternative childcare provision.

[pumpkinppcouncil @pumpkinppcounc1]

In a cost of living crisis, we are facing unprecedented stress and financial burden. @ELCouncil have not considered the impact of this decision and have produced NO solutions to help us. The story will be on @STVNews News tonight at 6pm. Watch,retweet & support us

Says it all @ELCouncil
