Answered by Kenny MacAskill (02/08/2011):
In Scotland, local authorities take the lead, in conjunction with their local partners, in planning and supporting childcare in their local areas. Local Childcare Information Services offer free advice regarding the availability of local childcare and further information on these local services can be found on the following website www.scottishchildcare.gov.uk.
