Spotlight on early learning and childcare in Moray

A SERIES of events are taking place to help people understand more about changes to childcare provision in Moray.

Moray Council's Early Years team is behind the drive as part of the early learning and childcare (ELC) expansion.

That will see all three and four-year-olds, as well as eligible two-year-olds, entitled to 1140 hours of ELC a year from August 2020.

The expansion is already being rolled out in Moray and parents and carers will have the chance to ask their questions directly to the council officers leading the changes in a Facebook live stream Q&A tomorrow (Wednesday) from 7.45pm.

With some questions already submitted on allocation of places, lunches and more this is an opportunity to ask questions from the comfort of your own home.

Viewers of the live feed can post their questions on the video and get real-time answers there and then on the Moray Families Information Service Facebook page.

Those interested in a career in ELC can also tune in and ask questions or attend the ELC Academy's Careers pop-up shop in the St Giles Centre in Elgin this Friday between noon and 4pm.

You can discover career pathways, opportunities to study and see the live jobs board or meet with employers and make use of a children's play area while you find out more.

Bookbug taster sessions will also run throughout the afternoon.
