Cynfran Playgroup is a registered Charity and became a CIO in 2017. We are inspected by Estyn and CIW.
We are based in Llysfaen, a semi-rural village and set within the grounds of Ysgol Cynfran. We employ two full-time staff and two part-time. Ordinarily we are able to take up to 19 children per session. Playgroup is open from 09:00 am to 3:00pm with sessions split into am, pm or full day sessions. We have excellent links with Ysgol Cynfran and some of the nursery aged children stay for dinner in Playgroup before joining the nursery class for the afternoon sessions. We are members of and supported by WPPA.

The afects of the Covid 19 pandemic on the Playgroup Finances
Grants applied for as a result of covid 19
The Playgroup receives funding from fees, Government grants, and fundraising. We also apply for grants from local businesses/organisations. Due to the Pandemic we successfully applied for funding from Moondance (£5,120) and WCVA to help keep Playgroup financially viable as it became clear that the road to recovery would stretch over months and there was uncertainty over when and how children could return to the group. The grant from WCVA comprises of an initial payment of £7,500 followed by 2,500 later in the year. Just 25% of the grant is a loan which is to be re-paid as the Playgroup returns to normal. From CCBC we received a sustainability grant of £750. Various HMRC JRS payments furlough

Temporary Closure
When lockdown was first announced in March Playgroup closed. There were no children of essential workers who needed the service. We re-opened September 2020 in bubble groups. We closed briefly between January and February due to Covid-19. We re-opened after February half term.
The bubble groups stayed until July 2021.
When Ysgol Cynfran opened in June to larger groups of children Playgroup parents were contacted to see if any were needing the service. From the response back the decision was made to remain closed as there were no parents needing the service. From then plans and preparations were made to accommodate the new intake from September and adaptations to the room and plans were made in anticipation of the new Government guidelines. During the summer term of 2021 the new build was started,this was completed and ready to move into from September .
Staf
We have four members of staff in September, we now currently employ four members of staff, two full-time and two part-time. Two staff are qualified to Level 4/5 and two are qualified to Level 3 in Childcare.
All staff are up to date with mandatory training including first aid. One member of staff was furloughed from September , Three staff members were able to continue in work and make adaptations to the room and to planning in preparation for the return to Playgroup.
Commitee and Trustees
The Committee had one meeting in the Autumn term. No other meetings took place for the rest of the year due to lockdown from March although regular contact was maintained among the Officials using phone and emails in order to prepare for the changes and updates as appropriate. In this year we had seven members including one member who acted as liason from the school.
