The SNP leader rejected several pleas from opposition MSPs to reconsider the restrictions on events for nursery leavers and said the Government's education advisory group has warned against them taking place. Following Ms Sturgeon's statement at Holyrood on the coronavirus restrictions, Scottish Labour leader, Anas Sarwar, the deputy leader, Jackie Baillie, and Scottish Conservative MSP, Meghan Gallacher, all challenged her about the issue. Speaking in Scottish Parliament, Mr Sarwar said: "Why is it OK to have 3,000 fans at a fan zone but parents can't a outdoor nursery graduation?"The First Minister said there are "rational reasons for what appears contradictory", in light of the Glasgow Euro 2020 fan zone being allowed to take place with thousands of fans but nurseries prevented from hosting events for leavers and their parents.
