In brief...The Scottish Childminding

The Scottish Childminding Association's Scheme of Excellence has had a wide take-up by local authorities across Scotland. National development officer Maggie Simpson said, 'New funding from the Scottish Executive is assisting the cost of providing quality and appropriate training for childcare workers, and this money has helped because the Scheme of Excellence is regarded as a self-assessment package.' Childminders can use the scheme to work towards the national occupational standards in SVQ level 3 in Early Years Care and Education.
