@Robbie_Calmac Replace the mint with parsley and there’s a lyric in there …

[Kenny Forsyth @KennyForsyth]

I rarely tweet but this has left me disheartened … CI and ES actually believe there is a difference between learning and education as they each define them? I don’t believe that, much more likely they are playing out their own organisational agendas and disagreements in public.

[Marion Burns @mcgregor_marie]

Am I missing something here? Are education and care not inextricably linked? Working in silos, I thought we’d left that behind us when we adopted a holistic approach to early childhood in Scotland #Beingme

[Willie Rennie @willie_rennie]

There is an exodus of staff from private and voluntary nurseries which is severely limiting the choice and flexibility of childcare which the First Minister promised to parents. At the education committee this morning I explored the disparities in pay which are behind this.

@2020Together @IpsosScotland @ELCScotGov @COSLA_CYP @ADEScotland @haughey_clare Nursery business owners were invited - we have worked extensively with other settings and all our LAs to help. We also fed in via membership organisations who work with SG. Hope that helps
