SCOTTISH First Minister Humza Yousaf must make good on his pledge to expand free childcare places to “poverty proof” early years in Scotland, a charity has said.

Mr Yousaf made the pledge to offer free childcare to under-threes more than a year ago as part of his campaign to win the SNP leadership.

Now the Joseph Rowantree Foundation (JRF) has produced a report making its case for the policy — and demanded delivery.
