Campus Nurseries

At New College Lanarkshire (Cumbernauld Campus) we provide high quality early learning and childcare for children from 6 weeks old to starting primary school. 

We aim to provide a holistic learning environment that nurtures and supports children in feeling safe, respected, listened to and included.  Using national and local documents we provide a curriculum that promotes children's learning and development.

You should apply for a place at the nursery as soon as you have submitted an application for your college course. Please do not wait until you have been successful in gaining a place in college as all childcare applications are allocated on a first come first served basis.

We also work in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council to provide funded places for children aged 3 - 5 years old.

Applications Forms are available here in the handbook for prospective parents. If you need any assistance or have any questions please contact Debbie Welsford on:
