Managing an ELC Setting Sessions

The Managing an ELC Setting sessions are aimed at HTs, Managers and all who have ELC management time. They reflect the messages from the National Practice Guidance for Early Years in Scotland – Realising the Ambition: Being Me and the National Standard for Early Learning and Childcare Providers.

We aim to have the very best ELC settings so that children have the best start in life and reach their full potential so we hope these recordings will support you to be the manager of a high-quality ELC setting.
