Scottish Child Payment

Scottish Child Payment is a new payment for families on certain benefits or tax credits to help towards the costs of looking after a child.  The payment is £40 paid every four weeks for each child under six.

It’s now open for applications and payments will commence from 15th February 2021 and will be paid 4 weekly.

Find out more at Scottish Child Payment or call on 0800 182 2222.

August 2020 Reopening Lunch Arrangements

It is expected that during the cohort phase of return where children are in the ELC building over a whole day either 8.45am – 2.45pm or 9am-3pm that a grab and go style packed lunch will be provided by Renfrewshire Council. These usually consist of sandwiches, fruit, water and snack.

This arrangement will be confirmed week beginning Monday 10th August.

This would mean that you as parents and carers will not have to provide a packed lunch for your child. Your support in encouraging your child with this will help us to ensure we are following Scottish Government guidance on minimising the number of items brought in from home to ELC building.

August Induction and Settling Reminders

Ante Pre-School & New Families

Please note those families who have ante pre-school children or new families beginning with us in August 2020 you will receive an invitation to attend an ELC induction on Wednesday 12th August 2020. You will then receive an allocated time slot for staggered settling in times with your child over the first 2 weeks of term. In order to provide the best nurturing experience for your child we would recommend that you and your child take the opportunity for this settling in period, however, we do appreciate that as your child’s placement does begin on the 12th of August we cannot insist upon a settling in period being followed.

Returning Pre-School Families

Returning pre-school children we look forward to welcoming you back on Wednesday 12th August 2020.
