Provision run by fully qualified staff. Staff are given opportunities to access training to further develop their skills and to ensure the quality of teaching is maintained and enhanced.
We also as a childcare setting have a core belief that all parents are the first and foremost educators of their children. We encourage parent committees so to empower parents and give them a greater involvement in the childcare provided.
Achievement’s
The setting is now set out to develop the children’s learning through the new guidelines from the Welsh government curriculum for the pathways. Our advisory teacher has brought other groups into our setting to view the classroom to gain knowledge on how to promote the new pathways curriculum within the classroom. Teachers within the school have also been to view our classroom to gain ideas on how to develop their own classrooms.

Risks and uncertainties
As a charity that looks after children the trustees recognise that the main risk would be injury or death to any of the children whilst in the care of the group. Risk assessments are in place to manage any risks. Staff are first aid trained, full risk assessments are in place and kept up to date and insurance policies are in place and kept up to date.
We still feel as a group we are not promoted fairly by the school, even with advertising a lot of people still don’t know we are here. We have purchased a large banner advertising group which is displayed on our wall outside group. Group has had photographs taken to put on to the school website.
Plans for the future
To promote group in a successful way for us to grow and develop in the school setting.
To further develop the Welsh language into sessions and for all staff to enrol on the Camu course.
To strengthen links with parents and how to work together to support their child’s learning at home.
To gain new committee members.
