Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The Cylch has been successful in providing every young child that attends with an opportunity to benefit from early years services and experiences through the medium of Welsh. Every child receives care, love and respect, appropriate attention and support in order to meet his individual needs and benefits from every opportunity to play. They are supported to become full members of society and stimulated to enable him to develop to his full potential. All children are treated as an equal, irrespective of race, colour, religion, nationality or social background. Play is fundamental to the physical, emotional, linguistic, social and intellectual development of children and this has been achieved throughout the year.

The Cylch Meithrin has successfully worked in partnership with parents/carers/guardians to promote these values.
