We are open to all children across Clackmannanshire from 8am to 5.30pm, offering a variety of different models:

  • Model 1: 8.35 – 2.35 term time 38 weeks a year
  • Model 2: 8.00–12.30 or 12.30- 5.00, extended  year 50 weeks a year
  • Model 3: 8.00- 5.30 2 days and 1 half day extended year 50 weeks a year
    • Model 3 can also have some additional sessions added to support study or work. Every child also has a hot lunch provided every day they are in the Centre. Our excellent lunch time provision has been recognised by the Scottish Government with a case study being published demonstrating our ethos.

The Centre is registered to take a 103 children at any one time. 15 of these places are for entitled 2 year olds. Follow the link given to see if your child is entitled.
