Nursery school places
To enrol your child into a pre-school nursery contact the nursery directly and ask for an application form.
It's a good idea to visit the nursery, have look around and chat to staff. Priority is given to children living in the Stirling Council area for a nursery place.
We have an information leaflet we can send out to parents explaining about required criteria i.e. birth dates, etc. If you would like a copy please phone the contact centre on 0845 277 7000.
We allocate places as straightforwardly as possible. All children in their pre-school year and all 3 year olds in the term following their third birthday, are guaranteed a place within either a council nursery or within a partnership nursery or playgroup. We cannot always guarantee a place within a parent's or carer's first choice establishment, therefore applications are allocated using a points system which takes account of both children's needs and family circumstances.
All partner nurseries and playgroups allocate places in accordance with the council's admissions policy. Free entitlement to nursery provision for 3 and 4 year old children is currently 12½ hours per week.
