ELC & School registration now open
Parents and carers of children who will start primary school or nursery in August 2025 can now register their child for enrolment.
The registration process opens today, from 13 January 2025 and runs until 24 January 2025, giving families a two-week window to complete the online application.
Children who will be five years old on or before 20 August 2025, or those who turn five between 20 August 2024 and 28 February 2026 are eligible to register online for Primary 1 in the 2025/26 school year.
All children aged three and four, as well as eligible two-year-olds who are entitled to their funded hours in Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) should be registered online during the enrolment window.
It is important to note that the available hours at each ELC setting or childminder may differ, so parents and carers should check the hours being offered prior to choosing their setting during registration.
The whole P1 and nursery registration process, including placing requests, should be completed online. You will need to upload scanned copies or clear photos of your child’s birth certificate and proof of address to submit the form online.
For guidance on how to obtain a copy of a birth certificate, you can visit Moray Council’s website.
Please remember that registration is an online-process only and there is no need to visit a school or nursery in-person.
