Nurseries in Carnoustie

Private nurseries in Angus typically accept children from around 3 months old, depending on staffing and availability. Council early years settings generally begin from age 3, depending on eligibility and capacity.

In Scotland, all children are entitled to 1,140 hours of funded Early Learning and Childcare per year from the term after their 3rd birthday. Eligible 2-year olds may also qualify based on income, disability or care-experience criteria. Funding can be used in council nurseries, private nurseries, childminders and blended models. Angus Council manages funded placements, applications and allocation. Parents can also use Tax-Free Childcare, which provides a 20% government top-up on childcare spending up to £2,000 per child, per year.

Private nursery fees in Angus tend to range between £55–£75 per day. Coastal commuter towns like Carnoustie often attract higher demand, which can push fees toward the upper end of that range.

All nurseries in Angus are regulated by the Care Inspectorate. Funded hours delivery and admissions are overseen by Angus Council.

Ask about availability of funded-hour slots, flexibility for working parents (commuter schedules), access to outdoor/seaside play, meal provision and waiting list duration—especially during busier commuter periods.
