Castleview can provide care and education for nursery aged (3-5) children. We are registered with the Care Inspectorate to offer places for up to 5 nursery children.  Some children also attend their local school or nursery to ensure they have opportunities to develop or maintain relationships with their peers.

Castleview Nursery Term and Opening Hours

Castleview Nursery is open during term time, with pupils attending from 9.00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday to Friday during the 38 weeks of school term time. This equates to 1140 hours.

Placement at Castleview Nursery

Castleview Nursery operates a 38 weeks a year model and will be closed out with term time in line with school closures. Application to Castleview differs from the traditional nursery application process. A decision to attend Castleview is made by a child’s family and the team who support them and is based on an assessment of their additional support needs. This is often a multi-agency team including Health Visitor, Educational Psychologist, relevant Therapists and Stirling Council Additional Support Needs Outreach team. The Team Around the Child (TAC) will submit an application to GIRFEC Resource Group (GRG) where a decision is made as to whether or not Castleview is the correct nursery placement. Parents/carers are fully involved in all decision making processes and once a decision is made, we work closely with families to ensure a smooth transition. Our nursery is registered with, and regulated by, the Care Inspectorate.
