Spreading the word of childcare service providers. My opinions are my own and may not represent the views of other providers.

The @2020Together Campaign for nurseries launches their new film this evening. Children develop best in the company of adults who feel valued & relaxed.

We play in v important role in #EarlyYears in #scotland supporting the development of a child’s sense of #fairness
It’s all we ask as a #PVI sector from the #ScottishGovernment too. 🙏🏼

@2020Together @NatalieDon_ @ELCScotGov @willie_rennie @JohnSwinney @MGallacherMSP @fultonsnp @UpstartScot @GiveTimeScot Looking forward to seeing it, I'm sure it will be excellent, and will purvey a very important message as clear as possible to a wider audience.

We r looking forward to welcoming our invited guests, MPs, MSP’s, councillors, press & colleagues tonight to the official launch of our video ‘It’s all about the children’🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @NatalieDon_ @ELCScotGov @willie_rennie @JohnSwinney @MGallacherMSP @fultonsnp @UpstartScot @GiveTimeScot

@willie_rennie the PVI sector appreciate you highlighting these issues. The sector needs all the support it can get just so it can have equity and equality with council-run nurseries. The issue is clear...why are they constantly beating around the bush.

[Willie Rennie @willie_rennie]

Unfair funding means that private and voluntary nurseries can't pay the wages needed to compete with council-run nurseries for more experienced staff. Humza Yousaf promised to fix this in his first budget, but hasn't lived up to that promise.

[Together. @2020Together]

@HumzaYousaf @NatalieDon_ @neilcgray whilst you anticipate that £12 per hr will make a difference? Let us highlight the challenges in black in white! @ELCScotGov

[Julie Wiseman @WisemanJulie]

@2020Together @MGallacherMSP @haughey_clare Well done all who fought for PVI tonight @haughey_clare are you able to have a dialogue without reading a script? I am embarrassed for you tonight not a clue about the very people you represent. If you don't sort this there will be no PVI! It's disgusting

[Together. @2020Together]

Thank you so much @MGallacherMSP for this evenings debate in chambers. @haughey_clare you say you are listening but you are not hearing. We urge you to come to the table and have proper dialogue?

[ELCPVI @elcpvi]

@elc1140 @ELCScotGov @ScotGovFM @SP_ECYP @2020Together @parentclubscot @COSLA_CYP @haughey_clare @STVNews Local Authorities are literally throttling the PVI. It's beyond scandalous! Are the bodies with the ability to intervene just going to idly sit by and watch the sector suffocate @ELCScotGov @ScotGovFM

[ELCPVI @elcpvi]

Now the admission is out in the open. What's going to be done about it?

[Together. @2020Together]

The Hollyrood Education Committee meeting was a difficult watch for providers yesterday. Pleased to hear ⁦⁦@brownliew⁩ also admit the inequity in funding regards workforce salaries between local authorities and PVI nurseries and childminders! https://t.co/lNf54ZF9Bn

[Jim @elc1140]

This is what is urgently required in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but needs to be backed up by sustainable funding @STVNews @ELCScotGov @nlancouncil @EarlyYearsNLC @wp_education @LandLNLC

[Kirktonholme Childcare @kirknursery]

Could all our parents follow @2020Together on Twitter to find out more about the fight the private sector are going through to gain equal funding for our children? At present we care for over 30% of the children for 20% funding. Whilst the rest is used to raise LA salaries.

[Jim @elc1140]

Every parent in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 should stand up against @COSLA_CYP @ELCScotGov and demand #fairness #equity for their children @parentclubscot @pns2018 @OPFS @wp_education councils are denying our children their fair share of ELC funding @EarlyYearsNLC

[Together. @2020Together]

30’000 of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿’s eligible children you are letting down by your lack of engagement! @ScotGovFM @haughey_clare Are the private providers & childminders surplus to requirements? 30’000 families we’re sure would say no! @parentclubscot @GiveTimeScot @UpstartScot

[ELCPVI @elcpvi]

@nlcpeople Are the recycling yards open? Need somewhere to put this rubbish

[Together. @2020Together]

@SP_ECYP @COSLA_CYP @Jane_Brumpton @improvserv @NdnaScotland @ScotChildmind @haughey_clare Must be mindful of how success is measured! Is it 1140 uptake or more importantly quality outcomes for children? PVI have 1140 uptake but workforce challenges reduce quality 🤔

[Julie Wiseman @WisemanJulie]

@SP_ECYP @COSLA_CYP @Jane_Brumpton @improvserv @NdnaScotland @ScotChildmind @haughey_clare It’s not free it comes at a substantial cost to a PVI sector already on its knees maybe we need to consider coming out of contact with LA altogether it’s a joke and not a funny one😢
