• Please note ALL children returning next year should register for a place at the ECC.

• Lainshaw ECC will be 38 weeks (term time) 9-3. This can be split with a childminder or another ELC establishment (blended) . Therefore we will be Model 1 and Model 3 for 2, 3 and 4 year olds.

• I have attached the East Ayrshire Council admissions policy for you all to read which will hopefully answer some questions. Please read the Early Years Admissions policy attached which outlines the hours available and further information before you complete the registration form online.

• You will be required to attach a copy of your child’s birth certificate and proof of address to the online application at the time of registration.
• Should you require a copy of your child’s birth certificate for registration, this can be obtained at Certificates.scot.
• It is important that you make application by Friday, March 12, 2021 as the process to allocate places for the forthcoming academic year begins on March 15.
• You should also identify your second choice of centre and preferred pattern of attendance on the application form as there may be occasions when you cannot access a place in your first choice of centre. Applications which do not indicate a second choice may not be considered.
• If you wish to apply for a split session place you will need to make application for each centre.
• Applications received after Friday, March 12, 2021 will be allocated in a second phase before the start of the new term in August 2021.
• When completing the application, parents and carers should inform the centre head/manager of any issues which may affect their child, for example, toileting, any special dietary requirements or medical issues. This is to enable appropriate planning to take place and will not affect their child’s access to a place
• Please note you will be required to upload a copy of your child’s birth certificate to complete the application.
