A popular West Lothian playgroup will close at Christmas after missing out on funding to provide pre-school care.
The Daisy Drop In playgroup has served the impoverished Craigshill area for around 15 years.
Staff did not apply to join the new funding framework being developed to provide care as part of the Scottish Government’s roll-out of 1140 hours per year for all 3 and 4 year olds and eligible 2 year olds of Early Learning and Childcare (ELC).
