Online enrolment opens for Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) providers

Online enrolment opens today (Monday 10 February 2025), for all Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) providers, including local authority nurseries, partner settings and commissioned childminders.  The enrolment week for all ELC places is from Monday 10 February to Friday 14 February 2025.

Children born between 1 March 2021 and 28 February 2023 will be entitled to a funded ELC place. 

To enrol your child, or for further information on completing the online form, the enrolment process, catchment areas, Gaelic Medium education, school transport and placing requests, please visit www.highland.gov.uk/enrol.

Please note once you have enrolled your child online, the setting will contact you to arrange the necessary induction for your child. 

Parents who do not have access to the online enrolment process should contact their ELC setting during enrolment week to request a paper copy of the enrolment form.

Parents and carers are also welcome to phone the setting of their choice to find out more about what is offered. To find out what provision is available in local communities, a helpful map can be found on the Council's website.
