In January 2001 Men in Childcare held discussions with Stevenson, Telford and Jewel & Esk Valley colleges with a view to setting up childcare training for men. It was decided that the best way of encouraging men on to an evening course was to make it accredited. Since then our training has expanded throughout Scotland.

Funding

Men in Childcare receive funding from The City of Edinburgh Council, as well as the Scottish Government to support our efforts rolling out the recruitment and training of more men into childcare throughout Scotland.
