Their campaign has been successful in changing the law so that all children with a legal right to defer their p1 start (those not age 5 by the school start date) from Aug 2023 to Aug 2024 and every year thereafter, are now automatically entitled to a further year of nursery (Early Learning and Childcare – ELC) funding. This means it is no longer up to councils to decide whether to fund this or not for mid-August to 31st Dec born children (Jan and Feb borns have had an automatic entitlement to this funding since 2000).
They have created a two page information leaflet as a resource for parents, carers, ELC staff, health visitors, primary school teachers and anyone else with an interest in primary one deferral rights in Scotland.
