To support children and families at Culzean EYC, where space and staffing allows, parents/carers can apply to purchase early learning and childcare in addition to their 1140 hours entitlement.
For those children aged 2 years and 3-5 years currently accessing early learning and childcare, an application can be made to purchase additional attendance options at the centre your child currently attends.
For children aged 2 years, not currently accessing early learning and childcare, who are resident within South Ayrshire, an application can be made to purchase attendance options at any centre with 2 year old provision. Places available for children aged 2 are very limited and may only be available in our rural EYC’s.
- Applications cannot be submitted prior to a child’s 2nd birthday.
- A separate application must be submitted for each individual child.
- School holiday provision may also be available to purchase in some centres. Applications for holiday provision blocks can only be made at the following times:-
- October – 28/05/26
- Easter – 28/05/26
- Summer 1 – TBC
- Summer 2 – TBC
- All applications will be considered on a first come first served basis and only allocated if it is possible to do so within the centre’s current staffing and space allocations.
- Parents/carers on a term time (9 a.m. – 3 p.m.) attendance pattern can be guaranteed access to purchase 8.30 a.m. – 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. – 3.30 p.m. and 3.30 p.m. – 4 p.m. An application form is still required.
