Fife Council has 108 early years establishments which include nurseries, early learning and childcare centres and family nurture centres which offer a range of services.

The Scottish Government increased the annual entitlement of funded Early Learning & Childcare to 1140 hours for all 3 and 4-year-olds, as well as eligible 2-year-olds.

As set out in legislation, the funded 1140 hours of ELC are provided free of charge, regardless of which type of setting the hours are being delivered in. This applies to local authority, private, third and childminding settings.
