Moray ELC, Childminders and School registration for August 2025 opens today
Registration for Moray children who will be starting primary school or nursery in August 2025 has officially opened today, 13 January 2025.
Parents and carers have until 24 January 2025 to complete their child's online registration, so there’s a two-week window to get everything sorted.
If your child will be five years old on or before 20 August 2025, or if they turn five between 20 August 2025 and 28 February 2026, they are eligible to register online for Primary 1 in August 2025.
But it’s not just about school places—if you have a child aged three or four, or eligible two-year-old who is entitled to funded Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) hours, you can also register them during this period.
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 entire process, including any placing requests, must be done online. You’ll need to upload a copy of your child’s birth certificate and proof of address as part of the registration.
If you need guidance on how to obtain a birth certificate, simply visit the Moray Council website for all the information.
The entire registration process is online, meaning there’s no need to visit schools or nurseries in person—everything can be done from the comfort of your home.
