Private, Voluntary and Independent nurseries are crucial for working families and the recovery of the economy post-COVID.

[#teampvi @teampvi]

@NicolaSturgeon Many private nursery providers entering 2020 with much trepidation due unfair treatment and underfunding from the LAs. We need action from you to ensure fair funding for every child, regardless of where they access their hours. Will you help? @2020Together @MareeToddMSP

@ELCScotGov @2020Together @ScotGovFM @haughey_clare @STVAlison @LucyJWhyte Quote: completely wiped out, one day back. Both manager and team leader cited their mental health and needing to do what’s right for them. When do we get to put ourselves first and look after our mental health? This is all down to CI, ES,LAs and 1140hrs

@ELCScotGov @2020Together @ScotGovFM @haughey_clare @STVAlison @LucyJWhyte Quote We’re a tiny setting, so that’s my entire management team and a quarter of my staff gone in one fell swoop. I’m at a complete loss now as you know, recruitment is horrendous just now.honestly can’t face the thought of what I’m going to have to do in the coming weeks/months

@ELCScotGov 1/of many 🤔 how can I plead for help for our sector whilst blood boiling and heart breaking 💔 @2020Together @ELCScotGov @ScotGovFM @haughey_clare @STVAlison @LucyJWhyte I will post just a few of tonight’s comments from PVI chat

[Jim @elc1140]

@ELCScotGov @theSNP @ScotGovFM @parentclubscot @2020Together 2/2 experienced staff leaving in droves to LAs for much higher pay! This is unintended consequence of 1140hrs, the SNP flagship policy which failed to consider the effect on PVI businesses. We r not small, we care for almost more than one third of all nursery children 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Jim @elc1140]

@ELCScotGov 1/2 @theSNP @ScotGovFM @parentclubscot FM afraid it seems all about school return and pacifying unions. Take evthing @2020Together hv prev said to ELC team and dble it to know where we are right now. Not wrkfrc crisis, wrkfrc disaster 😥 with no hope and no support in sight !

[Jim @elc1140]

@ELCScotGov @theSNP @ScotGovFM @parentclubscot @2020Together Is it lack of union intervention that causes this disregard 🤷🏻‍♂️ 11000 xtra staff needed for 1140! How many recruited ? Where did they come from? What hve you done to replace the wrkfrc migration ? 1140hrs is in serious jeopardy not just bcause of covid, but mainly inadequate plan

Honestly can’t stop crying - this is so unlike me, but this has just been the straw that broke the camels back. Think I’ve been holding it together for everyone else for so long that it’s like the dam’s finally given way’

[Jim @elc1140]

@kirknursery @ffsfairfunding1 @scottishelcc @2020Together @LucyJWhyte @scotgov @_KateForbes @ScotGovFM @theSNP @ELCScotGov @ScotTories @ScottishLabour I sincerely hope that the minister sees the mental health timebomb ticking away behind the stats! Also hope no one says ‘I didn’t know’ as everyone been highlighting our well being issues to @theSNP for a long time @2020Together @haughey_clare @ScotGovFM

[Jim @elc1140]

@LucyJWhyte @suzannezeedyk how low does this need to go before intervention. Crisis management is getting us nowhere except darker places. Have we learned nothing about the impact this is having on our children ? It needs to stop now ! @haughey_clare @ScotGovFM

[Hassle121 @Hassle121]

@2020Together @scottishelcc @tinyweesoul @elc1140 @ELCScotGov @ScotGovFM @haughey_clare @STVAlison @LucyJWhyte @ScotTories Surely @MareeToddMSP would’ve given @haughey_clare a handover. So far not impressed by her absence

[ffs @ffsfairfunding1]

@elc1140 @ELCScotGov @suzannezeedyk @CareInspect This all started with introduction of @scotgov #1140hrs unintended consequence it may be, but certainly not unknown. 4 years we have been telling you what the impact will be 🤷🏻‍♂️ it is now your problem @ScotGovFM

[Jim @elc1140]

PVI experienced staff is being lost to LAs forcing inexperienced staff to be fast tracked to senior positions 🤷🏻‍♂️ if these are our new ‘trainers’ where is the quality @ELCScotGov ?? Many r in meltdown @suzannezeedyk what effect will this have on our children @CareInspect ???????

[Karen Flynn @KarenFl02581169]

@elc1140 @MareeToddMSP @scotgov @haughey_clare We recognise @haughey_clare your previous role was minister for mental health. The Funded Providers need to to step up as a matter or urgency! Please speak to us urgently?

[Jim @elc1140]

@MareeToddMSP Reminds me of something similar re @scotgov #1140hrs blueprint. The LA variant has been a game changer for us in scotland. It’s started to have an impact on the mental well-being of the whole manly female PVI wrkfrc @haughey_clare we ask you to speak with us soon

[Jim @elc1140]

@LucyJWhyte @STVAlison it is becoming increasingly distressing witnessing experienced ELC business owners ‘crying’ daily on our support chats. This is a major crisis right now and it is mainly caused by unequal ‘grabbing’ of ELC funding by LAs causing the migration of staff

[Together. @2020Together]

@scottishelcc @tinyweesoul @elc1140 @ELCScotGov @ScotGovFM @haughey_clare @STVAlison @LucyJWhyte @ScotTories @2020Together are hoping to get our meeting with her very soon in order that we can discuss extreme challenges in depth 🙏

[kidkid @scottishelcc]

@tinyweesoul @elc1140 @2020Together @ELCScotGov @ScotGovFM @haughey_clare @STVAlison @LucyJWhyte @ScotTories I agree, not a peep from her, complacency and total disregard for us. Has she even met with any of our support groups. Not a very good start for her is it. I’m sure the opposition will be out to expose this failure soon enough
