How to apply for a nursery place
Parents and carers are required to register for a MyScotBorders account and are asked to make contact with their chosen setting to ensure they offer ELC over the number of weeks and times of day you require. This should be done before making an Online application. Other documents you will need at the point of application are:
- an electronic copy (or photo) of your child’s birth certificate
- proof of your address such as a council tax letter or child benefit notice is also required to be uploaded at the time of applying
Where possible all children will be able to access a funded place with their preferred provider, however this cannot be guaranteed. Therefore it is important to select a second choice provider when completing the application form.
