Since April 2024, our setting has become extremely busy. We have seen a significant increase in the number of children attending, particularl within our Flying Start provision - and we're now supporting 25 Flying Start chi ren. There has also been a noticeable rise in the number of children using both our play room and wraparound services. Due to this growing demand, we Introduced a new morning wraparound session to help accommodate families and ensure every child continues to receive the support and care they need. Over the past year, we have also seen an increase in the number of families accessing the Welsh Government Funded 30 free hours scheme. We're thrilled to see so many families choosin out setting, and we're incredibly proud of how our team has respon ed to this busy period with enthusiasm and dedication. During this period, we have been working extremely hard at restructuring our childcare. We have decided to bring back daily record sheets to send home with the children so that their parents/carers can see what they have been doing with us throughout the day. This has had an extremely positive response from the parents and the feedback we have received so far regarding this has been great. Feedback & Case Studies Our ChiLdcare Services have a signif icant impact on the families who use them. They provide parents with the opportunity to return to work or simply enjoy some welL-deserved time for themselves, with the peace of mind that their child is being cared for in a warm, home-from-home environment by dedicated and compassionate staff. Many parents have also shared that they choose to use childcare primarily for their chiLds sociaLisation. As a result, they have seen remarkable progress in their child's social and developmental growth, which highlights the vaLue of earLy interactions in a nurturing setting.

Talk It Through The Talk it Through pro'ect SUPPOrts children and young people age 11 to25 with disabilities and their families, and was created as we noticed an emotional need for the parents, as well as the children and young people with additional needs. Whilst counselling the children and loung people. we would initially meet with t parents/guardians, and almost every parent or carer would mention that they themselves would benefit from emotional support also. We were happy to offer counselling to the carers as we wanted to offer supportto the family dynamic as a whole and notjust the child with the additional need. As we were supportin the parents and carers, we recognise that accessing the service may prove difficult for some. Therefore, we offered the sessions face-to-face, online or by telephone.

The service is free of charge and offered 8 one hour weekly sessions where they could be open and honest and not feel they had to fight for everything as carers so often do. Many clients would explain how it was nice to be able to feel heard and noticed. The clients were offered a space to talk about their true feelinss and were able to talk about anything that they wished. This would often lead to talking about the past, traumatic experiences and relationships and gave them the space to work through these challenges which in turn greatly helped their emotional wellbein At times we were able to extend t e amount of sessions and this gave more time to work through these difficult challenges.
