All funded sessions across Angus Council ELC settings have flexible drop-off and pick-up times at either end of the session, and “core learning time” in between.
Core learning time is a time where all children are present and free from interruptions naturally caused by people entering and leaving the setting. This uninterrupted time allows children to play and learn purposefully together and provides opportunities for staff to be fully engaged with the children in play and learning.
In Angus all children should have a minimum of 60 per cent core learning time in every session, with the remaining 40 per cent split between the flexible drop-off and pick-up times at either end of each session.
Your child will have a quality ELC experience from the time you drop them off until the time you pick them up. The additional flexibility that the drop-off and pick-up times allow also means that, if you choose to, you can tailor a session to the length of time that you feel is best for your child and your family.
A session will still count as 5, 6 or 7.5 hours no matter what time you drop off or pick up your child.
All council settings will follow one of three models (or options). You can find out more about these models on our webpage, accessing 1140 hours of early learning and childcare.
