The Playgroup is self-funded. We charge a range of fees dependent on how many sessions each child attends and how long they stsy in Playgroup. The sessions are held 3 mornings a week during school term. We continue to receive funding from the Childcare offer from the Welsh Government initiative that provides 30 hour5 of childcare provision per week for children once they tum 3 years old and other local government initstives.

At the start of 2024 we had 10 children attending Playgroup by the end of 2024 we had 7.

However. we acknvely encourage and educate our parents on the childcare offer5 that are available. We have had an average of 62.5% tsking advantsge of the Childcare Offer and I child paying through the Tax-Free Childcare.
