Another busy year for Cylch Meithrin Y Drenewydd despite Covid 19 and lock-downs. All the children have developed their Welsh language skills at a very pleasing rate, aided by using Croesi’r Bont and have joined in enthusiastically in a wide range of learning activities. During March 2020 we were instructed to close the setting due to the Covid pandemic lock-down. However, we continued to support our parents through our Facebook page with activities, stories and songs. We kept our parents, in particular keyworkers, informed regarding the Childcare Hwb, and being a listening ear for our vulnerable families through Facebook messenger and on the phone. We reopened with small bubbles of 8 children a day in June 2020 for our 3+ children and vulnerable Flying Start children. We felt it was important for those starting school in September to have some closure at Cylch. Parents were very appreciative and supported the setting during this difficult period. We returned in the Autumn term for all our children. The setting followed health guidelines issued by the Department of health and we were supported very well by the Mudiad Meithrin during this period. Staff attended a number of online training enabling them to support children returning with anxiety. We focused on 'Well Being' as our theme for the term and after a few weeks most of the children were settled back into the routine of the group. Normal activities soon returned to the setting and the children enjoyed the usual celebrations - Bonfire Night, Remembrance day, Christmas to name a few. Fundraising activities were organised and we managed to raise £988 from doing our annual sponsored walk around the area. We were again put into lockdown again in Spring 2021 and we opened for our key worker children and vulnerable children. Staff in the 3+ started implementing the 'Planning in the Moment' training they had accessed with positive results for the children. The setting started using the SeeSaw app and again this enabled us to send pictures of children to their parents and keep in closer contact with our families. After half term all the children returned and celebrated St. David’s day by dressing up and eating Welsh Cakes. The children made Mother’s Day cards and received a story book for World book day. We took part in Pori Drwy Stori which the children really enjoyed singing the rhymes and action songs. The Ti a Fi group had to close for lock-down and was only able to reopen in Summer 2021 Thanks goes to the staff at Ysgol Dafydd Llwyd with whom we have a wonderful relationship, and for the support from Sharon Hughes Foundation Phase, Leanne Griffiths Flying Start, Nia Chapman Mudiad Meithrin and Nia Wilson Childcare Offer. **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report** ## **Report to the trustees/ CYLCH MEITHRIN Y DRENEWYDD members of** **On accounts for the year Charity no ended** 31 March 2021 **(if any)** 1184153 **Set out on pages** 2 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **31 March 2021** - **Responsibilities and** As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation **basis of report** of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
