Parental Entitlement to Pre-School Partnership Funding
Glasgow City Council contracts with the private and social economy nurseries to provide a number of funded places to children of 3 – 5 years. Children become eligible for a funded place the day after their 3rd birthday.
Funding is granted up to a maximum of £1,998 (£10.51 x 190 sessions) for the academic year (38 weeks) to children attending 5 sessions per week. If your child attends nursery for less than 5 sessions per week the funding payment is calculated pro rata.
