Introduction

Within City of Edinburgh Early Years Team we have a clear vision: - “To ensure all our children have the best start in life. They are happy, well cared for and have quality opportunities to have fun, play and learn.”

We have four principal aims each with a number of specified actions which we believe, if they are realised will provide for the needs and aspirations of all children and their families at this crucial developmental stage.

Aim 1 – Place To develop flexible, affordable, accessible early learning and childcare provision and services for all children and families.

Aim 2 - People To develop a highly skilled and motivated workforce to deliver a high quality Early Years’ service.

Aim 3 - People To strengthen and develop integrated partnership working to provide support for all children and families.

Aim 4 – Practice To develop high quality play and learning opportunities and active learning as integral parts of the Early Years’ service.

Our Early Years Team will continue to offer a wide range of support and challenge to all City of Edinburgh Council providers of Early Learning and Childcare.

This document outlines the key support and challenge available from the early Years central team and provides a ‘one stop shop’ for current information and current contact details. I hope you will find this booklet helpful.

Expansion of Early Learning and Childcare

The Scottish Government document A Blueprint for 2020: The Expansion of Early Learning and Childcare in sets out the requirement to increase funded ELC entitlement from 600 to 1140 hours by 2020. This requires us to make significant changes to the provision of ELC in Edinburgh, whilst ensuring we continue to provide a high-quality service for children and their families that offers greater flexibility, accessibility and affordability to parents.

Edinburgh has approximately 11,000 children who are eligible for funded Early Learning and Childcare. We are making positive progress and leading the way in meeting the additional hours for ELC in Scotland by 2020. Our request for £87.5m funding has been fully met by the Scottish Government which will help us recruit the additional staff that are needed and build the new early years facilities.

Our expansion plan has seen us delivering the additional 1140 hours since August 2017. By August 2019 we will have achieved the following

• 47 Local Authority and 79 Partner Provider settings delivering 1140 hour places • 23 Childminders in partnership • 6 Forest Kindergartens • 390 new staff recruited to the local authority • 7 new build nurseries completed and another 5 new builds started.

Our expansion plan has been developed which will provide a variety of delivery models to meet the flexibility required by families and carers to ensure all children will have access to a place in their own locality.

We are excited and looking forward to this great opportunity to provide excellent learning and teaching for our youngest learners to ensure they have the best possible start in life at the same time as enabling parents to access the world of work.

Forest Kindergarten

As part of the 1140 expansion plan we will have developed six sites for session 2019-20 for children to access their funded ELC 1140 hours.

Six Forest Kindergartens at:

Lauriston Castle – children from and Primary Schools will attend a blended approach of Early Learning and Childcare within a nursery class and a forest kindergarten.

Cammo Estate - children from East Craig’s and Craigroyston Primary Schools will attend a blended approach of Early Learning and Childcare within a nursery class and a forest kindergarten.

Clifton Hall - children from Primary School will attend a blended approach of Early Learning and Childcare within a nursery class and a forest kindergarten.

Newbattle Abbey - children from Spinney Lane Nursery and Gracemount Primary School will attend a blended approach of Early Learning and Childcare within a nursery class and a forest kindergarten.

Craigmillar Woods - children from Moffat Early Years Campus will attend a blended approach of Early Learning and Childcare within a nursery class and a forest kindergarten.

Pentland - children from Cowgate Under 5s have accessed this site for Forest Kindergarten for a number of years. Children from Bonaly Primary School nursery class will join them and have a blended approach of Early Learning and Childcare within a nursery class and a forest kindergarten this session.

In total there will be 220 children across Edinburgh accessing forest kindergarten supported by our wonderful forest staff team.

Supporting Quality - The Golden Thread

High quality provision and experiences for children are at the top of our agenda. In our plans towards expansion of Early learning and Childcare within the City of Edinburgh we focus on Quality being the ‘Golden thread’ and will take account of the priorities set out in the National Improvement Framework including; • Improvement in attainment, particularly in literacy and numeracy • Closing the attainment gap between the most and least disadvantaged children • Improvement in children and young people’s health and wellbeing • Improvement in employability skills and sustained, positive school leaver destinations for all young people. We have a central Early Years Team consisting of: Quality Improvement Education Officers, Early Years Managers, Development Officers, and Peripatetic Teachers who provide support within our four localities. The Early Years team have a strategic plan identifying key focused area for improvement based on the national documentation: How good is our Early Learning and Childcare and Building the Ambition.

Within each session there are locality events where central themes for improvement are shared and developed in line with national guidance linked to our Early Years Focused Self- Evaluation Plan.

Proportionate ‘Support and Challenge’ visits to settings run alongside these events focusing on the central themes from our strategic plan, auditing practice and developing action for improvements.

Within each locality, we are developing small network groups called ‘ELIPs’ (Early Learning Improvement Partnerships) to support and develop a self-improving system within our early years settings across the city.

Within Year 3 we are building on this by developing ‘LLPs’ (Leadership Learning Partnership Groups). The groups will be established at the first Leading the Strategy meeting in September. The purpose of the LLPs is to establish and develop collaborative working across all Early Learning and Childcare and to allow leaders time to have professional dialogue. There will be an opportunity for the groups to meet again on a further two occasions at the Leading the Strategy meetings within the year. Further collaboration within the partnerships will be encouraged across the session.

We have developed four Graffiti Walls linked to the Early Years Focused Self-Evaluation Plan. They share the key expectations linked to the Quality Indicators that have been the focus within the self-evaluation plan. Individual copies of these graffiti walls can be found on the Early Ye

ELIGIBLE 2s – Early Learning and Childcare A number of ELC centres offer funded places for children aged 2 years whose families meet the criteria set by the Government. Families should be directed to the Council website for information. http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20071/nurseries_and_childcare

NAMS As you are aware, the NAMS system is used by our partner provider centres to calculate early learning and childcare funding for their children. Priority for funding is always allocated to Council nursery schools and classes so it is crucial that all NAMS records are kept up to date, especially in respect of hours attended within your setting.

If you get the following message when processing an application – ‘accepting this record will create a split placement’ - this will probably be because a child is already attending another nursery. You MUST check whether or not the child will remain at the other nursery or if they will be leaving BEFORE you accept the record - otherwise it will create an incorrect split placement. Please also remember that private nurseries should NOT be added as 2nd or 3rd choices – parents/carers should be advised to contact them directly.

SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT CENSUS – (SCOTxED) It is a requirement that all centres accurately complete the annual census which will be emailed to centres by the Government. The information collected from the census is used to determine the levels of funding allocated to CEC for the provision of early learning and childcare. Any enquiries about the census should be directed to Sanjeev Paul on 469 3200.

CARE INSPECTORATE CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION Please check that the details on your registration certificate are up to date with the correct manager’s name and the maximum number of children at each session. If changes need to be made, The Care Inspectorate will need to be notified asap of any variations. If ANY variation is required, please discuss first with your Early Years Manager/QIEO.

CAPACITIES AUDIT Information from the NAMS and Click and Go systems will be downloaded by the early years team at the end of September 2019, January 2020 and May 2020. This will be used to assess the demand for nursery places across the city as a whole and the staffing requirements specific to your nursery school or class for the academic year 2020/21. Please ensure that the data for your establishment is up to date at these times. Please ask if you need assistance with this process.

Commitment to Sustainability

Early Years in Edinburgh are committed to doing our bit to work towards sustainability. This is a key part of giving our bairns the best start in life and keeping Edinburgh a braw place to be! Edinburgh City has set an ambitious goal of being carbon neutral by 2030. This sits against a backdrop of increasing climate uncertainty, devastating volumes of plastic and waste in our seas and a recognition that we are using resources at an ever more unsustainable rate. In February of this year, the council committee recognised our situation as a Climate Emergency, and in May 2019, the committee agreed “the importance of sustainability and climate change to the health, wellbeing and prosperity of the city of Edinburgh and its current and future citizens” Each meeting at the Faith Mission generates enormous waste through single use coffee and water cups. We send over 300 coffee cups to landfill and around 150 plastic water cups. For all localities to attend, we emit approximately half a ton of CO2 in car travel. It’s not all bad news! Luckily, there are some simple things that we can do to tackle these issues.

Travel to and from the Faith Mission for CLPL eg. Leading the Strategy and Quality Matters

First, please consider using public transport to attend, https://moovitapp.com/index/en-gb/public_transportation- Faith_Mission_Bookshops_Scotland-Scotland-site_67507146-402 Google maps will also offer a full and real-time route, including your bus, tram and rail options. If it is not possible to reach the Faith Mission by public transport, please car-share where possible, and consider making links with your cluster and those who live nearby. It is possible to cycle to the Faith Mission and there is bicycle parking however there are no protected cycle lanes, so we do not advise this mode of transport unless you are a confident cyclist.

Reusable cups The Faith Mission are pleased to accept your own reusable cups. There are a lot on the market and they can ensure that your tea and coffee stay hot. Please also bring your own re-usable water bottle.

Thank you for your support.
