About
Fife Council awarded a contract to Noah's Ark Nursery, Little Farmer Childcare, and Little Treasures Nursery (Fife) Limited for a framework agreement to provide funded early learning and childcare places for children aged 3 and 4 within Fife.
The requirement enabled voluntary and private sector providers to become commissioned to deliver these places on behalf of the Council.
The Children and Young People (Scotland) Act increased the amount and flexibility of free early learning and childcare from 475 hours a year to a minimum of 600 hours a year for 3 and 4 year olds, and some 2 year olds.
Fife Council were increasing the range of models available in its own early learning and childcare facilities to offer alternative attendance patterns to parents.
To offer further flexibility to parents, suitable partnerships were required to offer funded early learning and childcare alongside Fife Council provision.
