Vision & Values

At Flexible Childcare Services Scotland, our vision is simple; to enable every child, family, and community to access the individual early learning support and childcare services they need to thrive.

Developed in consultation with our board, our team and the families we support, our values represent the promises we make to our people and the people we support, and how we aim to achieve their hopes, expectations and aspirations. They are:

People First

Our people; the children and families we support, our team, the communities we work with, our partners and funders; are at the heart of everything we do.

Flexible

As an organisation we are flexible and responsive – remaining adaptable to the needs of the families and stakeholders we support. Our model is bold and innovative, disrupting the norm and offering greater choice and opportunities to families.

Nurturing

We provide a nurturing and caring environment, demonstrating compassion, respect and empathy at all times.

Education

We are committed to provide the best learning and development opportunities, helping everyone to progress to the next step on their learning journey.

Accessible

We aim to make our services as accessible and inclusive as possible. Our team are approachable, trustworthy and friendly and will work together to provide a supportive and welcoming environment.

Quality

Above all we are committed to delivering high quality services. We are passionate about our work, dedicated to the children and families we support and determined to deliver the best possible service for the communities that rely on us.

Thanks to Flexible Childcare Services Scotland I’ve been able to start a new job that works out the same as my daughters nursery times. This means I’m able to work without missing out on any time with her as when I’m at work she’s in a playful learning environment with her friends just like she’s would be at school.

Using families at home has been amazing for me, it means I was able to return to education for 2 years and I’m now able to work knowing my daughter is safe and happy. My little ones loves coming to day care the staff are always friendly and helpful and are always on hand to do anything they can to help you.

We love the Daycare Service because of the flexibility and the staff! It has meant that we can still both work but have high quality childcare that we are not just working to pay for so it has enhanced our quality of life too. The staff are all amazing with our daughter and us as worried parents too!

Laura

Flexible Childcare Services Scotland empowers me to be a working mother. Without the flexibility of the service, I may not have been financially able to return to work.

Jane

The flexibility of the service made it possible for me to start doing a degree at the university. Being able to book my child for exactly the hours I need has been invaluable both financially and in terms of convenience.

Ashley

Without the flexibility of the service we would be paying out 4 x as much in childcare. We are lucky to have my mother in law help 2 days a week. I am a nurse who works shifts therefore our requirements vary on a weekly basis.

Amazing nursery and staff. All natural resources which is amazing and its all child led. Both my girls love going and have learned and came on so much. The staff are amazing at their job and go above and beyond to help. Always there to support parents and children. Can’t recommend the team and nursery enough.
