funded pre-school places

We are a partnership nursery and offer the Scottish Government’s 1140 hours of funded provision for children 3 and above.  These hours are open to children regardless of whether they live in West Lothian.  We offer 4 different session options depending on whether you need mornings/afternoon or full days.  For more information please get in touch.

  • The team go above and beyond to form meaningful relationships with the kids and their families. They have provided Blake and Zack with the most amazing opportunities from fire pits and forest excursions to beauty salons and baking. I couldn’t be happier seeing my children run in the door every morning and not look back.

  • The staff at Sheephouse are so friendly & helpful. Our daughter gets so excited when we arrive in the morning, she just loves it. I love being kept up to date with daily activities via the app and feel our daughter has developed so much since starting.

  • Both my children have attended Sheephouse Nursery from the age of 6 months. The team are warm, caring and treat each child as an individual - allowing them to thrive. I wouldn’t dream of sending them anywhere else.

  • Sheephouse is the physical embodiment of equity, equality, inclusion, and nurture in present practice. Both my younger children that had the experience of attending Sheephouse at a difficult time in their young lives were quickly offered a personalised restorative nurturing approach and curriculum that fostered their positive mental health, confidence, academic achievement as well as acknowledged achievements from their wider experiences and community. Sheephouse staff are skilled at a rights-respecting approach that encouraged both my children to find their voices and adopt self-advocacy and be confident within themselves. Sheephouse has been an integral part to both my children's overall development and growth. Staff are knowledgeable, approachable, skilled and invested. Best early education experience I could have asked for to lay stable and sustainable foundations for their future. My only regret is that I didn't find this Diamond of a nursery earlier for my older child to have benefited from the rich, high-quality education and care on offer.
