Early Learning and Childcare in East Lothian

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 . Your child can receive their funded hours entitlement from the term after their third birthday in a school nursery or with one of our partner providers (private nursery, childminder or community group). The information on these pages will provide you with further information on the different options available.

Some 2 year olds are also eligible for early learning and chilcare funding - find out more
