What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to make funded early learning and childcare on a cross-local authority basis a legal right across Scotland, so no family is denied access to the childcare setting that works for them because of an arbitrary council boundary. National action is needed to prevent local authority cost-cutting from restricting parental choice and disrupting children’s care and development.
