We offer this care to children over the age of two until they go to full time school, the sessions aim to develop children's skills and understanding through play. We deliver care in safe and stimulating environments, where children can benefit from a variety of activities and play experiences, which enables them to develop and learn to their full potential. We strive to meet each child's individual needs and Cylch Meithrin Clocaenog is committed to provide appropriate support which meets the needs of every child.

Achievements and Performance
SORP reference The childcare service is provided during school term time. Monday, Wednesday & Friday 9.00 - 15.00 Tuesday & Thursday 11.30 - 15.00 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 | Our essential services have enabled parents to return to work. Once children have started school we have had many families rely on Cylch Meithrin Clocaenog to provide wrap around care/ education. The children attend school in the morning and then come directly to Cylch, they then have the option of being collected by family at 3 o’clock or continuing on to the after- school club at Ysgol Carreg Emlyn until 5:15pm. The committee have worked tirelessly and free of charge to keep the Cylch Meithrin Clocaenog Charity running as we feel it is of great benefit to our rural community and provides a crucial service that promotes the Welsh language whilst supporting families and their children, so that they receive a high standard of care and education at an affordable price. |
