Want to know more about early learning and childcare in Moray? We can help

As part of the early learning and childcare (ELC) expansion, Moray Council’s Early Years team are holding a series of events this week to help parents and carers understand more about the changes from August 2020 and to promote progressive careers in the sector.

Parents and carers have the chance to ask their questions directly to the Council officers leading the changes in Moray in a Facebook live stream Q&A on Wednesday 1 May from 7.45pm.

With some questions already submitted on allocation of places, lunches and more this is a great opportunity to ask us anything from the comfort of home. Viewers of the live feed can post their questions on the video and get real-time answers there and then on the Moray Families Information Service Facebook page.

Those interested in a career in ELC can also tune in and ask their questions or come along to the ELC Academy's Careers pop-up shop in the St. Giles Centre, Elgin on Friday 3 May between 12pm-4pm.

Discover career pathways, opportunities to study and see the live jobs board or meet with employers and make use of the children’s play area while you find out more. With bookbug taster sessions throughout the day it’s ideal for parents and carers who may be looking to return to work or change career.

With all three and four year olds and eligible two year old entitled to 1140 hours of ELC a year from August 2020 there are big changes to the delivery of early years care and education in Moray, including numerous career opportunities as a result – this is your chance to learn all about it. Join in and ask us anything.

Famous for its colony of dolphins, fabulous beaches and more malt whisky distilleries than any where else in Scotland, Moray is a thriving area and a great place to live. Nestling between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands, Moray stretches from Tomintoul in the south to the shores of the Moray Firth, from Keith in the east to Brodie Castle in the west.
