Nursery World - Early years groups called to speak to official inquiry

Early years organisations and local authorities from across Scotland have been invited to give oral evidence to the education committee as part of the Scottish Parliament's ongoing early years inquiry. The committee has received 50 written responses to the inquiry, and is now calling on a selection of representatives from the sector to submit a further report and make a presentation at committee meetings throughout November.

The Care Commission, Learning and Teaching Scotland, and the Scottish Pre-School Play Association (SPPA) are among those who have been called.

A Learning and Teaching Scotland spokeswoman confirmed that it would speak about its role in supporting quality in early years practice.
