The Ti a Fi opened in November 2023 running on a Thursday afternoon between 12.30 – 2.00pm. There was interest in the Ti a Fi sessions from the beginning and numbers for this vary on a week-to-week basis. The Cylch Meithrin remained closed from April 2023 – January 2024. The Trustees appointed staff to begin in September 2023 with the intention of opening the Cylch in the autumn term however due to the need for storage and equipment this was delayed. The Cylch successfully opened on the 5th of February 2024 offering morning sessions Monday to Thursday at a reduced fee rate to try and attract interest. Initial take up has been very slow however the Trustees and staff are working together to increase numbers. |
