Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Grants for Pre-school Education (Prescribed Children) (Scotland) Order 1996. Its effect is to extend the power of the Secretary of State to make grants under Part II of the Education (Scotland) Act 1996 to providers of education for children under school age so as to authorise grants to those providing education for children on or after the beginning (1st August) of the school year two years before they would first become eligible to attend a public primary school. In general terms, this extends the grant scheme to cover nursery education for three as well as four year olds.
