Every child also has a hot lunch provided every day and 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 112 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.
