Situated in the building and room housed the first primary class in Eyemouth, Seashells ELCC is a modern child centered ELCC offering funded places, non funded places and daycare including lunch club.
Operating with two rooms we have the Seals room (ELC 3 AND 4) which is designed for children to explore, be creative with staff supporting the inquisitive and questioning mind. The Pups rooms (ELC2 ) is a calm, soft space for children to explore senses. We also have an outside space as we promote the importance of outdoor play allowing children to access freely the outdoors.
Annual inspections by the Care Inspectorate and ongoing self evaluation ensures that Seashells ELCC maintain a very good standard of childcare as detailed in our recent report.
By working with Early Years Scotland and Scottish Borders Council's Early Years Team your child will be provided with well rounded, safe, happy and secure nurturing learning environment.
