Marion is a childminder and daycarer in Paisley under a scheme developed to meet the duty placed on councils by the Children Act to provide daycare for children in need.
The children might have emotional or behavioural problems, learning or physical difficulties, or their parents may be recovering from surgery or suffering from a terminal illness, depression or substance addiction.
In ten years of providing daycare, Marion has looked after many children whose parents are little more than children themselves. While these teenage mums return to full-time education to enable them to get work and support themselves, Marion cares for their babies and shares parenting skills with them along the way.
