Moray Council is seeking views of parents, carers, and families on proposed changes to its Early Learning and Childcare (ELC).

As part of its ongoing budget engagement, the council is reviewing the ELC service provision to ensure it aligns with current demand while meeting financial savings targets.

Following an initial consultation with staff and a review of the ELC service provision, amendments are being proposed to the operating hours at four ELC settings: Lhanbryde, Linkwood, Pilmuir, and Seafield.

Currently, all four services operate 25 hours per week for 46 weeks a year. The proposal would increase this to 30 hours per week for 38 weeks a year, operating from 9am to 3pm, in line with the primary school schedule. This change is based on historical attendance patterns, which show significantly lower attendance during holiday periods.
