With funding from the Scottish Government to support the wellbeing of very young children and their families with a particular focus on early speech and language acquisition, Early Years Scotland has teamed up with Care and Learning Alliance to create an exciting programme of free events for parents, baby and toddlers over the summer.

The Summer and Beyond programme is giving parents a chance to hear early years practitioners share some great tips for play activities in a series of interactive online sessions, and to come along to one of the outdoor family play & learning events taking place across Scotland during the summer.

Parent, baby and toddler group start up support
Following on from last year’s offer of start-up grants from the Scottish Government to support opening after COVID lockdowns, there is now a small pot of further funding for up to 20 groups that did not apply for the funding last year to access the £500 start-up or re-start funding and related resources and support (ongoing throughout the duration of the grant process).
