Partnership funded hours
Lecropt Nursery has been working in partnership with Stirling Council since August 2007 and is considered a partner setting. To become a partner, we must go through a procurement process and meet certain criteria and have been successful in this before. As a result, we are registered with Scottish Executive as being able to deliver the national early year's curriculum and are subject to inspection by Education Scotland.
We deliver exactly the same curriculum as the local authority nurseries and are inspected by the same people. Being a partner also allows us to have access to a nursery teacher provided by the local authority for up to six weeks each term. The staff also have access to training events and network meetings provided by the council.
All children aged 3 - 5 years old are entitled to government funded placements where they are entitled to the 1140 hours spread over the academic year.
We also accept funded places for entitled two's. Please check with Stirling Council to see if you are eligible.
