crèche

The Scottish Parliament said its creche capacity was limited due to space but added it was "constantly looking" for ways to support members with caring responsibilities.

Forbes has since criticised the Scottish Parliament's crèche facilities, which are only available for three hours a day from Tuesday to Thursday.

Forbes said there were areas where Holyrood "could do more and do better", such as its creche facility.

The Scottish Parliament said its creche capacity was limited to three hours per day by the Care Inspectorate in 2023, following a change in government regulations.

The firm joined forces with seven others to create a creche a short walk from the factory floor – not free, but heavily discounted and convenient.
