1140 Hours

1140 hours was due to be introduced in Dunbar Nursery from August 2020. However the outbreak of coronavirus led the Scottish Government to announce that it would remove this statutory duty.

This means that East Lothian Council, along with all other councils, will not be introducing increased hours of early learning and childcare as we had planned to for August 2020. We are awaiting further information from the Scottish Government on its updated timescales.

For further information please see East Lothian Council's latest update here.
