Nursery World - NDNA takes up dissolved Scottish day nursery body

The Scottish Independent Nurseries Association (SINA) has been dissolved and is in the process of setting up a new member organisation in partnership with the National Day Nurseries Association in England (NDNA). A letter has been sent to private providers in Scotland explaining that SINA ceased its operations in July. The letter, from the NDNA, said, 'As a volunteer-led organisation with limited resources in a fast-changing market, it has become increasingly difficult for SINA to properly represent the day nursery sector right across Scotland, despite the hard work of a committed board.'

The letter urged Scottish providers to endorse the move by joining the NDNA, which already represents more than 2,000 day nurseries across the UK.

It said, 'The backing of members in Scotland will enable us to put a powerful case for funding support and better represent the sector.'
