Early learning and childcare
Caroline Gardner, Auditor General for Scotland, said:
"The Scottish Government and councils have worked well together to increase early learning and childcare hours, and we've also seen improvements in how the project will be evaluated. But the timeline remains tight and there are big risks around infrastructure and workforce."
Graham Sharp, Chair of the Accounts Commission said:
"Given the amount of work due to be completed over summer 2020, it's important that councils continue to work closely with the Scottish Government to manage the risks of any delays, including how best to keep parents informed."
