Final Falkirk district nursery to be finished by August after major expansion

The final new nursery in Falkirk district to be built as part of a major expansion of early years education should be finished by August.

Contractors are now on site after planning permission was granted by Falkirk Council for Inchlair nursery's new modular building which will replace the older nursery, now demolished.

The new building on Valeview, Stenhousemuir will be attached to another modular extension which was installed before the old building was demolished.

The nursery is the final major piece of infrastructure to be completed as part of the Scottish Government-funded expansion programme.

Since August 2021, all children aged three and four in Falkirk district – and some two-year-olds – have been offered 1140 hours of nursery education, almost double what had been available before.

Once complete, the areas around the new building will be landscaped to integrate it into the wider site and the car park will be reinstated, with painted lines and a disabled parking space.
