A non-refundable registration fee of £50.00 is required to cover administration costs.

Fees are applicable year-round, including during illness or holidays, to maintain your child’s place. To withdraw a child, one month’s notice or equivalent fee is required. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy on late payments. Payments overdue by three weeks or more, without prior agreement, will incur a 10% interest charge plus an additional £10 for each subsequent week until settled. Fees are reviewed annually in July, with any adjustments taking effect in September.

EARLY LEARNING AND CHILDCARE ENTITLEMENT (ELC)
When children are 3 and 4, they are entitled to 1140 hours per year. There are lots of different options for parents, and A B C Private Nursery is in partnership with West Lothian Council. We can provide your child’s funded entitlement in a way that suits you and your child’s needs. This means that we have tendered to West Lothian Council and have met the National Standards to provide Early Learning and Childcare.
When your child turns 2, you will receive an email from West Lothian Council outlining your options and how to apply for your child’s entitlement. You can apply online at www.westlothian.gov.uk. If you would like support with your application, please speak to a member of the team.
When the entitlement starts will vary depending on when your child’s birthday falls –
-
If your child turns 3 between the 1st of March and the 31st of August, they will be eligible from August that year.
-
If your child turns 3 between September 1st and December 31st, they are entitled to their third birthday.
-
If your child turns 3 between the 1st of January and the last day of February, they will be entitled from the following April.
If your child’s birthday is in January or February, you can defer your child’s school entry, and you will be entitled to a further year of Early Learning and Childcare. If your child is 4 years old on the date they start school, you can apply to the local authority and request an extra year of Early Learning and childcare. Even if this is not granted, you can still choose to defer your school entry.
A B C Private Nursery will only charge additional hours for anything used over and above the child’s entitlement. Every child is entitled to a free meal within their entitlement (please see the food section for more information).
