- Adroddiad Blynyddol Cylch Meithrin Aberystwyth Annual Report 2024 25
This financial year began on a challenging note due to inconsistencies with the previous billing system, high staffing and costs and lower numbers of children attending. As the year progressed, Cylch was supported by Mudiad Meithrin and began to see improvements in the financial stability of the Cylch with a more consistent billing system, and increased advertising to raise our profile. Fees were increased from September 2024 to meet rising costs.
The Cylch continues to successfully provide the 30hr Childcare offer, for eligible families with children aged 3 & 4. Parents are encouraged by staff to ask for information before the child reaches their 3rd birthday, in order for applications to be processed in a timely manner. There has been an increase in families accessing the Childcare offer funding. We are also a Flying Start provider.
CAF Bank is proving to be a reliable and consistent banking partner and the organisation continues to meet the needs of the Cylch. CAF Bank is due to implement a new online banking system and detailed information has been shared to support this. PJE Accountants continue to provide payroll services and have been extremely helpful.
The Trustees would like to express their appreciation for the ongoing commitment of the Committee. An amazing Murder Mystery evening in early July raised a fantastic £1300 and was enjoyed by all who attended. The ever popular Disgo Calan Gaeaf returned in October and was thoroughly enjoyed. The Committee have organised several other fundraising events, including cake stalls, which have helped to supplement our funds, in addition to maintaining the public profile of the Cylch. A regular newsletter is now shared with families.

It is anticipated that fees will increase again from September 2025. We hope that families will understand the need for the increases, and will continue to support the Cylch. The Committee and Trustees will continue to organise and support fundraising activities, and apply for grant funding where available.
Once again, we would like to say that we are immensely proud of our wonderful staff team and wish to express our gratitude for their ongoing hard work and commitment to the Cylch. In Dec 2024, we recruited a further staff member (Carys D.) and would like to wish her a warm welcome to the team. We wish to thank Carys for her excellent and committed leadership, and Ceirios, Sasha, Eiriol, & Janeen are also deserving of our gratitude for their ongoing commitment and flexibility, and for their support of Carys & Ceirios.
