New Home for NOSCA Treats

20th August 2013

After over a decade, The North of Scotland Childcare Association�s Treats service are saying good bye to Miller Academy and are relocating their services from 20th August 2013 to the upgraded Ormlie Community Centre in Henderson Street, Thurso.

NOSCA Treats has witnessed an increase in numbers of children and families wishing to access childcare and quality play opportunities and as a result have outgrown the centre based in Miller academy Primary School.

The move of premises will allow an increased number of children able to access childcare of up to 40 places on a daily basis. There will be designated play spaces for older and younger children, specific to their needs, daily access to a number of safe outdoor play spaces including a secure adjoining outdoor play area, a football field and the moors ready for exploration in addition to a plot of growing space within the community.

�This is a fantastic opportunity for us to grow and develop, just like the children we are looking after� said Pauline Mathers, Team Leader at Treats.

All children, parents and staff are looking forward to operating from the new premises and the increased opportunities that lie ahead. The vision for the future is of a seamless childcare provision that offers affordable, accessible, high quality childcare and play opportunities for all children who require this.

NOSCA Treats is a friendly and popular service, run by professionally trained and qualified staff and is registered with Care Inspectorate to operate between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday. All staff are registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and are dedicated to their work with children and families.

Childcare charges continue to be set at affordable rates and transport to and from schools and nurseries are set at a nominal fee. The service is registered with all the childcare voucher scheme providers and registered for childcare tax credits.

The Parent & Toddler group will continue to run from the Ormlie Centre with sessions continuing to operate on Wednesday mornings between 10am and 11.30am.
