East Lothian Council is committed to providing high quality, flexible early learning and childcare that is accessible and affordable to all families. We have a range of providers who offer funded early learning and childcare to 3 and 4 year olds when they become eligible. Your child can receive their funded hours entitlement in a school nursery or with one of our partner providers (private nursery, childminder or community group). The information on these pages explains the different options available..
