To ask the Scottish Government how many parents and families have had a funded cross-border nursery placement in each year since 2007, broken down by local authority.
The Scottish Government does not hold this information.
Data on ELC placements may be held by local Councils. It is the responsibility of each Local Authority to plan for, and manage, ELC placements in line with their statutory duties in relation to funded ELC delivery, including having regard to the statutory guidance on cross-boundary placements.
