Applying for an early learning and childcare placement
You can split your funded hours between Adventure Glen Childcare and your local nursery if you wish to do so. This is great for the transition between being at a childminder from a very young age into a noisier and larger environment. It can also be good to break up the week between childcare settings. Parents may also use their full entitlement within Adventure Glen Childcare should they wish to do so. This will be available for children starting nursery in 2025.
