National Care Standards

A guide to raise public awareness of the National Care Standards and what is expected of providers, including nurseries and childminders, has been published by the Scottish Executive. Deputy health minister Tom McCabe said it was essential that the public, not just providers and managers of care services, understood the standards.

The guide is on www.scotland.gov.uk. The partnership of Maytree Nursery School and Lambeth Educatier this month.
