Great news! If your child is over 3 years old, they may be eligible for up to 1140 hours of free childcare per year through our partnership with The City of Edinburgh Council and Midlothian Council. This funding becomes available from the term after your child’s third birthday.

For more information, visit:

  • Arcadia at King’s Buildings (City of Edinburgh Council): Find out more
  • Arcadia at Easter Bush (Midlothian Council): Find out more

If eligible, the funding will be deducted from your monthly fees as soon as we receive payment from the respective council.

Childcare Vouchers

We also accept Childcare Vouchers through workplace salary sacrifice schemes, which can save you money by reducing your National Insurance contributions.

If your employer offers this scheme, let us know the provider details and the amount you plan to use. We’ll adjust your monthly fee accordingly to reflect the voucher contribution.

Student Financial Assistance

If you are a student and require financial support, you may be eligible to apply to the Childcare Fund through the University of Edinburgh. There’s no set limit to the assistance available, so it’s worth exploring your options.
Learn more on the University of Edinburgh website.
