Glenbrae Children’s Centre is situated in the East End area of Greenock and comprises of 3 beautiful playrooms with outdoor areas where children can learn, grow and develop through play while being curious and creative. We value the importance of building positive relationships in a safe and nurturing environment and aim to meet the individual needs of every child.

The centre can cater for 54 children at any one time: 6 0-2 year olds, 15 2-3 year olds and 30 3-5 year olds. Our service has been enhanced by the 1140 expansion programme which commenced in Aug 2020. As a result of this we offer five models of attendance between the hours of 8.10am and 5.45pm to eligible children and families. A chargeable childcare service is also available which offers extended hours for parents in employment, education or training.

To ensure the nursery day runs as smoothly as possible I would urge all parents/ carers to follow these times. If you are unsure of your child’s times please speak to a member of the team. It is important that children access the nursery time they are entitled to however they cannot go over these hours.

All families will receive an email with a breakdown of their child’s times and days throughout the academic year. Please let us know if you have any questions about these.

Our team consists of a Head of Centre, Depute Head of Centre, Senior Early Years Education & Childcare Officers (EYECO), 16 EYECOS, access to an Early Years Teacher, an Excellence and Equity Lead, 4 Early Years Support Assistants, a Clerical Assistant, Caretaker and Catering Assistant.
