To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the number of children who take up a funded early learning and childcare place in a local authority other than the one in which they live.
The Scottish Government does not hold this information.
This data may be held by local authorities. 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.
