Age range of children

Laurieston Day Nursery operates a service for children between the ages of 6 weeks to 5 years. At present we accommodate 48 Full Time Equivalent children term time/non-term time within a daily session. This is broken down to the following:

Skye                                     developmentally 0-2 years                          9 children

Iona                                      developmentally 2-3 years                          15 children

Nursery provision will reflect children’s needs and development. The allocation of placements will be tailored to each individual child. Some children are offered half-day sessions (usually referred to as either an A.M. or P.M. place) and some are offered full-day, depending on individual circumstances, availability of space and equitable access to 1140 hours entitlement.
