Early Learning and Childcare Expansion to 1140 hours: Interim Evaluation Report

From August 2021 the entitlement to funded early learning and childcare in Scotland increased from 600 to 1140 hours per year. This report provides an evidence-based picture of progress on the intermediate outcomes for the early learning and childcare expansion.


Errata

An errata was published on 30/09/2024 as a result of minor drafting changes to improve clarity in the presentation of data on the proportion of children accessing funded ELC using more than 600 hours / the full 1140 hours of funded ELC (Section 3.1, pp25-27). The HTML and PDF have both been updated to reflect these changes.
