This survey is only for childminders who are currently delivering funded ELC, and your responses and feedback will help inform our ELC Audit 2026.
SCMA actively captures data from childminders to support change and progress for the workforce. We are commissioned each year by the Scottish Government to undertake an audit of local authorities’ progress in including childminders in delivering funded ELC.
Our previous ELC Audits have been very impactful and led to SCMA regularly being invited to the Scottish Parliament to represent our members and the wider childminding workforce.
This year, we are looking for your input once again, to obtain an up-to-date snapshot on the level of involvement childminders currently have in delivering funded ELC in Scotland. This is particularly important this year as a number of local authorities have started to place restrictions on delivering funded ELC.
If you are currently delivering funded ELC, please answer the following questions, and help us grow our evidence – and the survey should take you no more than 5-10 minutes.
