Fall in Scottish childcare centres and childminder numbers |
by Fiona McCleod www.news.scotsman.com - added 24/09/2009 |
THE number of registered childcare centres has fallen this year, according to new statistics.
Scottish Government figures show in January there were 4,274 centres, compared to 4,336 at the same time last year.
The number of registered childminders also dropped, falling from 6,055 to 6,039.
Labour education spokeswoman Rhona Brankin said: "This is another humiliation for the SNP. The First Minister promised more nursery teachers but numbers are down again. On the same day that the Primary 1-3 class size pledge was dropped we have another key area of education policy which is failing miserably." |
