ELC Enrolment & Admissions

All nursery admission applications must be made through the Highland Council. The campus does not manage the administration of nursery applications however they are sent to our team for final approval and to allow the induction process to be planned. 

Applications for nursery places are made via the Highland Council.

It is campus policy that our Early Years Practitioners do not respond to enrolment and admission enquiries from members of the public. Additionally, they are not in a position to respond to community conversation or second-hand queries. Any concerns regarding this policy should be directed to the head teacher in the first instance.

To ensure a smooth and supportive start for your child, we will follow a structured transition process. All enrolment paperwork and payment plans will be completed before your child begins, and we will confirm their agreed start date and attendance pattern with you in advance. Any changes to hours require 28 days’ notice.

We will offer taster/induction sessions to help your child settle, and each child is allocated a key worker who will support them throughout their time in ELC. Before starting, we ask families to complete the Being Me – All About Me information, which helps us plan for your child’s needs, including dietary requirements and any medication.

Our staff follow Highland Council and national guidance on safer sleep, nappy changing, choking prevention, and best practice in early learning. All risk assessments are reviewed regularly, and snack menus are planned to complement lunch options and meet nutritional guidance.

Once your child has settled, we begin their learning profile and developmental overview, using national frameworks such as Realising the Ambition and Curriculum for Excellence to track progress and support their learning journey.
