**What the charity does:** WKEYC is a voluntary nursery providing high quality, flexible and affordable childcare to the West Kilbride Community. The centre developed from the community’s need for childcare and over the years has evolved from a small playgroup in 1965 to a term time nursery offering flexible childcare sessions over 5 days of the week. Currently we accommodate over 39 children from 2-5 years old.  The nursery aims to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment where children are motivated and encouraged to achieve their aspirations through exploratory play. Within the nursery we promote various tools to aid a child’s development, health and wellbeing e.g. PATHS (emotional well-being) and iCAN (listening/ language development).

**Beneficiaries:** 'Children or young people'

**Objectives:** To advance the education and social development of pre-school children with the emphasis on the play experience, so that they take a constructive place in the community.
