North Edinburgh Childcare
first opened its doors to children in the spring of 1997.
The organisation developed in response to an identified need for affordable,
flexible childcare in North Edinburgh that would enable local parents
and carers to access increased opportunities for work, training or
education.
A group of local women campaigned over a number of years for the creation
of a custom built (state of the art) childcare facility. In the Spring
of 1997, the dream became a reality.
Since that time, our organisation has gone from strength to strength
and grown into the multi-stranded operation that we are today. Our
service has separate divisions offering pre-school care in the centre,
out of school care for 180 children in 6 local primary schools, crèche
services throughout the local area as well as city-wide.
We are also very proud of our training service that offers a range
of accredited and non accredited training, again working locally and
throughout the city.
Recent feedback from the Care Commission applauded our high standards
and continuous development of a child-centred approach.
More detailed information about all of these services is contained
in the relevant pages.
