Childcare in Edinburgh

If your child has a disability or additional support needs and you feel they will require help to attend a mainstream childcare setting, contact Edinburgh Childcare 4 All on 0131 347 1027. Edinburgh Childcare 4 All is a project run by Capability Scotland on behalf of the City of Edinburgh Council.  It works with mainstream childcare settings to ensure children with a disability can be meaningfully included with appropriate support.
