Company Description:
Excellent Childcare Provider
Little Flyers Childcare has settings across Edinburgh and West Lothian, alongside our afterschool provision, caring for children aged 0 to 10 years. Our staff have decades of childcare experience and such genuine compassion and empathy to help support our children and families as they grow. We are so proud to be named in the ‘TOP 20 of Day Nurseries’ three years in a row.
At Little Flyers, we know that childcare is a significant expense for families, which is why it’s so important to me to use my privileged position to lobby The Scottish Government and our regulating bodies to better the private childcare sector. It’s our aim to work to better our sector by creating a balance between paying practitioner the wage they deserve, and making childcare affordable for all.
