1,140 ELC HOURS PROGRAMME

Since 1991 Edinburgh Steiner School has been an Early Learning and Childcare Partner Provider for the City of Edinburgh Council. We offer the 1,140 Hours Programme – providing up to 30 hours a week of funded ELC during term time to all 3- and 4-year-olds and eligible 2-year-olds living in Scotland – in partnership with City of Edinburgh Council (CEC). Those living outside CEC boundary are also eligible for funding.

We actively support parents & carers wanting to Defer Entry to P1.

Families are entitled to benefit from the 1,140 ELC Hours Programme, the Tax-Free Childcare Scheme and our Third Child Reduction Scheme in conjunction with each other.

Organic, fresh lunches are provided as part of this programme.
