The other trustees served for the entire year. The trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 5 April 2024 and confirm they comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. Governance Cylch Meithrin Dinas Powys {"the Cylch") was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 27 December 2018, established under a foundatton constitution. Trustees have been selected and appointed on the basis of their experience and skill set. They meet every 6/8 weeks and hold an annual general meeting each year. The trustees and staff have adapted policy templates provided by Mudiad Meithrin for their own use and consider that they have a comprehensive set of policies in operation. These policies are reviewed on an annual basis and amended as necessary. There is a risk register to identify and categorise the key risks facing the Cylch so as to put in place measures to minimise the risks facing the setting. This register is reviewed periodically.
The Cylch is registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales ("CIW") to provide sessional day care and is affiliated with Mudiad Meithrin. Objectives The objectives of Cylch Meithrin Dinas Powys are to advance and promote the education of pre- school children in Dinas Powys and the surrounding area, through the medium of the Welsh language. It is a long-established playgroup and prides itself on offering a quality, caring learning experience for children from the age of two until they commence school. The sessions provide structured play and educational activities in a safe and stimulating environment. Review of Activities and Performance The Cylch has been successful in providing educational activities for the year in keeping with the new curriculum for early years childcare in Wales. These sessions provided the children with opportunities to learn through play, consistent with the themes followed withsn nursery school sessions. Each child has the opportunity to take part in various activities that promote all aspects of his/her development through the medium of Welsh. The setting is well equipped with toys, books, arts and crafts supplies, as well as various other equipment to encourage imaginative play. During this financial year, the Cylch Meithrin Dinas Powys has changed location from the previous setting in a church hall to using a classroom in the local Welsh medium primary school. This has allowed the setting to expand in terms of numbers of children. It has also helped us to establish good links with the local Welsh medium education and associated community. Future Plans The Cylch Meithrin is currentlyoperating in a spare classroom within Ysgol Pen-y-garth. In collaboration with the local council and Mudiad Meithrin, plans are afoot to develop a purpose-built nursery on the school site. The committee have been successful in obtaining a grant to pay for improvements to the room and buy extra outdoor equipment. This new location will allow the Cylch to expand, take on more children, staff and reintroduce a wraparound service for parents. The Cylch is registered for tax free childcare and the Childcare Offer to encourage the take up of new places. The Cylch is also now working with Flying Start to accept more children from low- income families in disadvantages areas. Financial Review The Cylch has benefited from grants this year, including an emergency grant from Mudiad Meithrin to support the Cylch financially. We also received a grant from the Vale of Glamorgan council to help set up the classroom in Pen y garth to ensure plumbing, decorating and fencing could be completed to ensure the location was appropriate for early years care.
Fundraising has been well supported this year. We have successfully raised money through a joint gala with other Cylch Meithrin groups in the Vale of Glamorgan. The main sources of this fundraising have been through coffee mornings, wreath making evenings and wine tasting evening. These have been well supported by the community. Income from fees has been strong this year, due to good take up of places by children. However, due to the limitations on capacity due to the room used before December 2023, the fees did not cover the expenses until December 2023. This was compensated for by the emergency grant that we received from Mudiad Meithrin. Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees 'report above.
