SERVICE DETAILS
Our preschool accommodates 24 children aged between 2 and 5 years old.
We are small, which means we can give every child the attention they deserve.
Fun & Play...
We offer a fun and structured day with lots of free play and outside activity. Our free flow concept allows the children to decide what they want to do, whether that be staying outside on the swing or playing inside with their friends; they have the freedom to choose.
Introduction to Learning...
Children in our pre-school will embark on the first stages of learning to read, write and understand simple numbers with the minimum of pressure. We use the jolly phonics system for reading, which is in line with the teaching methods of most local primary schools in the area.
Activities: Indoor play, Outdoor play, Stories; Singing; Sewing; Mindfulness; Yoga; Dancing; Arts; Crafts; Snack and much much more.
We are open Monday-Friday term time.

In Scotland funded early learning and childcare is free to parents, but funded by the Scottish Government.
The Government currently provides 16 hours a week of fully funded childcare for children from the term after they turn 3 until they start school. In September 2020 this is being increased to 30 hours per child a week (1140 hours per year).
At Dreghorn we have been lucky enough to be included in a pilot scheme which has been operating in advance of the national roll out. This means our opening hours are now fully funded, and there are no fees to pay, apart from for snacks.
We offer 30 hours a week (6 hours a day, 5 days a week during term).
Each child also receives a hot nutritional and healthy lunch.
Military parents moving to Edinburgh should note that unlike elsewhere in the UK in Scotland parents are able to take advantage of the scheme whether they work or not. You can also choose to split the funded hours between ourselves and a childminder who is also registered to the new scheme to allow for fully funded, fully flexible childcare.
