Funded Hours

Gullane Community Children’s Hub is registered as a Funded Childcare Provider with East Lothian Council. We are able to offer funded childcare for all 3 & 4 year olds and priority 2 year olds. The costs of up to 1140 yours per year of childcare is funded entirely by East Lothian Council.

Families can choose how they would like to take up these funded hours. You can choose to take up all or part of the hours with us or blend your hours with one other provider e.g. local authority nursery, private nursery or childminder. For example, many of our children attend Gullane Nursery for 2 days a week, and Playgroup for one or two additional days. These additional days can be funded by East Lothian Council. Families can choose which sessions they would like to use at Playgroup during our operating hours of Monday to Thursday 9am until 1pm.

How to apply

If you would like to apply for funded hours through The Hub, please print off and complete the NAMS application form and Funded Hours Form. Please drop these forms into the The Hub, and bring along your child’s birth certificate so we can verify your child’s date of birth (we do not need to keep a copy).
