Families can use their child’s funded entitlement at any Glasgow City Council nursery, Funded Provider or Registered Child minder meeting the National Standard for Early Learning & Childcare and contracted by the Council. All children aged 3-5 are entitled to up to 1140 hours per year of funded ELC. Children become eligible according to when their 3rd birthday falls. In Glasgow, you can access your child’s funded entitlement from the Monday after their 3rd birthday.
