A series of events are taking place across North Ayrshire to explain the early learning and childcare enrolment process. The registration process is open from 6 January to 31 January and funded early learning and childcare (ELC) is available to all three and four year olds and eligible two year olds. Entitlement is up to 1140 hours per year. One of the misconceptions is that there are ‘catchment’ areas for early years provision. There are no catchment areas for early years provisions and whilst we make every effort to accommodate parental preferences is not always possible to place children in the early years establishment of their choice. The events will give people a chance to ask any questions they may have and provide reassurances ahead of the registration process opening. The events take place at the following times and locations: Irvine, Rivergate Centre – Monday 2 December (1pm to 3pm) Kilwinning, Ayrshire College – Tuesday 3 December (11am to 1pm) Garnock Valley, St Bridget’s Primary – Wednesday 4 December (1pm to 3pm) Three Towns, Saltcoats Town Hall – Thursday 5 December (10 to 12pm) Largs, Largs Campus – Friday 6 December (10 to 12pm) More information can also be found at: https://tinyurl.com/y7cw77c8
