Private nurseries

Nurseries provide education and care for children under school age. Some nurseries provide out of school childcare facilities like breakfast and after school childcare.

We offer a variety of provision. Those in schools generally offer part-time places with a few providing flexible places on a school term basis. Others cater for 0-5 years, making available full-time or extended day places on an all-year round basis.

The nurseries are either funded or managed by us, individual owners, private companies or voluntary organisations in partnership with us. If you wish information on partnership arrangements please contact the Early Childhood Co-ordination Officer on 01786 442681.

There are a further 18 nursery classes within primary schools in our area. More information is available from Social Care and Social Work Improvment Scotland and the Scottish Family Information Service.
