The First Minister has announced that, following an increase in coronavirus (Covid-19) cases across Scotland and on the advice of her medical and scientific advisers, further measures were to be introduced across Scotland to slow the spread of Covid-19. The announcement by the First Minister has no effect on current childcare arrangements and childcare providers should continue to operate in accordance with the current guidance.
The Scottish Government Early learning and childcare directorate has issued a letter outlining this to all childcare providers.
