Scottish early years boost

Investing in a child’s pre-school life by providing good early years professionals will pay dividends for years to follow, Scotland’s Children’s Minister, Adam Ingram said this week.

New measures to improve nursery education include making sure all children have access to a nursery teacher and the development of degrees for early years professionals.

The government have promised to extend pre-school education by 50 per cent for all children aged three and four.
