Applying for Early Learning and Childcare in a council setting
You can apply for a place in a local authority school nursery when your child turns two.
The nursery application form is available here and also available from any of our East Lothian Council school offices. The completed form should be submitted to your first choice school nursery, with a copy of your child’s birth certificate.
Whenever possible, all children will be offered a place at their preferred nursery, however this is not always possible so it is important to complete section 3 of the application form, listing up to three nursery choices, in order of priority.
