Parent Club offers up-to-date guidance from the Scottish Government on your child’s health and education. It’s full of hints and tips from other parents and carers who’ve been there before. It also has advice to help you look after your own wellbeing and to point you in the direction of the support available.

Parent Club have hundreds of articles across dozens of topics, from help getting their vaccinations to help getting them to eat their tea. Most articles are sorted by age, so no matter how old your children are, you’ll easily find the information relevant to them. There are also plenty of articles for soon-to-be mums and dads to help you prepare for the adventures ahead. Plus all the information on the Baby Box.

All families are different and have their own challenges, but every parent wants their kids to grow up healthy and happy. Parent Club are here to help you every step of the way.

A warm welcome to new families joining us at Burnbrae from August. Links below will take you to the relevant information for your child.
