The trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 5 April 2025 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 foundation 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.
Objertives
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 Artivities and Performance
The Cylch continues to successfully provide educational activities for the year in keeping with the
new curriculum for early years childcare in Wales. The sessions provide the children with
opportunities to learn through play in a Welsh speaking setting.
During tills financial year, the Cylch Meithrin Dinas Powys has continued to operate in a classroom in
the local Welsh medium primary school- Ysgol Gymraeg Pen y Garth. This has not only benefited
the Cylch with increased links and positive communication with the feeder school, but it has also
allowed the nursery to expand in terms of numbers of children. This setting has a large and secure
outdoor space so now the children are able to enjoy outdoor activities as well as their indoor

facilities. The nursery is at capacity at the moment with a waiting list of children to jotn. We have a
healthy number of staff who work together in providing a safe place for children to learn and play.
Future Plans
The Cylch Meithrin is still operating in a spare classroom within Ysgol Pen-y-Garth. We hope to
expand the nursery with the expansion of our space into a purpose built facility Ivithin the school
site. There are still plans to build a purpose built facility within the school grounds and a grant has
been submitted to Welsh Government to fund this. Unfortunately, Welsh Government have
prioritised other projects ahead of ours. The project is still being considered by Welsh Governement,
but this is now likely to be reviewed in 2026. In its current location the Cylch is thriving and is at full
capacity. Should the new purpose built facility be granted it will allow the Cylch to expand further.
The Cylch is registered for tax free childcare and the Childcare Offer to encourage the take up of new
places. The Cylch is also still working with Flying Start to accept more children from low-income
families in disadvantages areas.
Financial Review
The Cylch has been in a strong financial position throughout this year. This has been due to a stable
and high number of children using the childcare facility. The Cylch has been able to invest in
appropriate equipment to support the curriculum which has benefitted the experience of children
attending the Cylch.
Fundraising has been limited this year, as the need for this and volunteer input to arrange
fundraising has been limited.
Declaration
The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees 'report above.

Fel yr ymddiriedolwyr elusen, rydych yn gyfrifol am baratoi'r cyfrifon yn unol
a gofynion Deddf Elusennau 2011 ("y Ddeddf,).
Adroddaf mewn perthynas a'm harchwiliad o gyfrifon yr Ymddiriedolaeth a
gwblhawyd o dan adran 145 0 Ddeddf 2011 ac wrth ymgymryd a'm
harchwiliad, dilynais yr holl Gyfarwyddiadau cymwys a roddwyd gan y
Comisiwn Elusennau o dan adran 145(5)(b) o'r Ddeddf.

Rwyf wedi cwblhau fy ar¢hwiliad. Cadarnhaf nad yw unrhyw faterion
perthnasol wedi dod i'm sylw mewn perthynas a'r arGhwiliad (heblaw'r hyn a

perthrrasol:
ni chafodd cofnodion cyfrifyddu eu cadw yn unol ag adran 130 O'r Ddeddf
Elusennau; neu
nid yw'r cyfrifon yn cyfateb a'r cofnodion cyfrifyddu; neu
nid yw'r cyfrifon yn cydymffurfio a'r gofynion cymwys yn ymwneud a ffurf a
chynnwys cyfrifon a amlinellir yn Rheoliadau Elusennau (Cyfrifon ac
Adroddiadau) 2008 heblaw unrhyw ofyniad bod y cyfrifon yn rhoi darlun
'gwir a theg, nad yw'n fater i'w ystyried fel rhan o archwiliad annibynnol.
Nid oes unrhyw bryderon gennyf ac nid wyf wedi dod ar draws unrhyw
