Mae hawl gennym dderbyn hyd at 24 o blant i’r Cylch ac mae 11 ar ein llyfrau eleni. Mae 3 aelod o staff yn cael eu cyflogi, sef 1 arweinydd a 2 gymhorthydd ac rydym yn parhau i weithredu’r cwricwlwm newydd o ddysgu drwy chwarae. Mae’r Cylch yn sicrhau ei fod yn rhan annatod o’r gymuned ac yn ymdrechu bob amser i ymuno yng ngweithgareddau’r gymuned e.e. Eisteddfodau, cyngherddau ac ati. Mae’n parhau i fod â chyswllt agos â’r ysgol leol, Ysgol O.M Edwards, sy’n sicrhau bod y plant sy’n trosglwyddo wedi arfer â’r sefydliad a’r staff. Eleni hefyd dechreuwyd ar gynllun brwsio dannedd y plant yn ystod oriau’r Cylch.

Ti a Fi

Mae Ti a Fi yn rhan bwysig o ddarpariaeth y Cylch Meithrin, ac yn adnodd pwysig i greu cymuned o rieni’r pentref. Eleni, rydym wedi bod yn cydweithio gyda’r Ofalaeth i gynnal Ffrindiau Bach a Mawr – cyfle i henoed y pentref gwrdd â’r rhieni a’r babanod newydd, ac mae’r cynllyn yn mynd yn wych. Hefyd, cawsom nawdd i gynnal 6 sesiwn Babis yr Awen – gweithdai sensori a chanu.

Datblygu’r Pwyllgor 2024/25

Datblygiad pwysig iawn eleni oedd y penderfyniad o sefydlogi pwyllgor y Cylch Meithrin trwy wahodd aelodau o’r gymdeithas i eistedd ar y pwyllgor, yn ogystal â rhieni a chydweithio’n agosach gydag Ysgol O. M. Edwards a Menter Gymunedol Llanuwchllyn. Prif sbardyn hyn oedd gweld aelodau pwyllgor y Cylch yn newid yn rhy gyson, a’r ail reswm oedd y penderfyniad mawr o sefydlu clwb ar ôl ysgol yn Ysgol O. M. Edwards fel ymestyniad o wasanaeth y Cylch.

Criw Eirys

Fis Ionawr 2025 gwelwyd clwb ar ôl ysgol Llanuwchllyn – Criw Eirys – yn agor ei drysau am y tro cyntaf. Wedi misoedd lawer o waith a heriau a chydweithio gan y pwyllgor ar ei newydd wedd, roedd hi’n fraint aruthrol gweld y fenter hon yn dwyn ffrwyth, a hynny wedi blynyddoedd o ddeisyfu gweld y fath ddarpariaeth yn y pentref. Gwelwyd sefyllfa frawychus yn codi yn y pentref wrth i rieni ddechrau gyrru eu plant i ysgolion eraill am nad oedd y ddarpariaeth hon mewn lle yn Llanuwchllyn – mater o reidrwydd felly oedd sefydlu Criw Eirys. Penderfynwyd enwi’r clwb ar ôl Lady Eirys Edwards, gwraig Syr Ifan ab Owen Edwards i nodi ei chyfraniad aruthrol i fudiad yr Urdd ac i blant a phobl ifainc Cymru.

Mae Criw Eirys ar agor Llun-Iau o 3pm-5:30pm. Rydym yn cynnig tacsi am ddim i blant y dosbarth meithrin o’r Neuadd Bentref i’r Ysgol am 3pm. Rydym yn cyflogi 5 o staff rhanamser ac mae gennym 16 o blant ar ein llyfrau yn defnyddio’r gwasanaeth ar nosweithiau gwahanol. Mae gennym yr hawl i dderbyn cyfaswm o 16 o blant bob noson. Ein ffioedd presennol ar gyfer 2024/25 yw £12 o 3:00-5:30pm / £7 3:00-4:30pm y plentyn.

Plant Criw Eirys

Holwyd plant Criw Eirys am eu hoff bethau a llefydd i wella yn y clwb:

Crynodeb

Gallwn ymfalchïo yn llwyddiant y Cylch Meithrin a Chriw Eirys i sicrhau'r addysg a’r gofal gorau orau drwy amrywiaeth o weithgareddau mewn awyrgylch hapus. Am flwyddyn arall sicrhawyd amrywiaeth o weithgareddau a theithiau addysgol o amgylch y fro gan ehangu ar amrywiaeth sgiliau a hyder y plant. Mae ymrwymiad y staff yn sicrhau bod y plant yn cael profiadau addysgol sy’n rhoi sylfaen gadarn i’w datblygiad fel unigolion hyderus, annibynnol a chwilfrydig. Mae’n amlwg bod eu hunanhyder ac annibyniaeth yn cael eu datblygu yn sgîl y profiadau a gynigir iddynt. Mae’n braf nodi bod y staff, rhieni a’r Pwyllgor yn cydweithio’n agos i sicrhau bod y ddau sefydliad yn rhedeg yn esmwyth a’i bod wedi bod yn hyfryd cydweithio’n agosach gydag ysgol O. M. Edwards a Menter Gymunedol Llanuwchllyn eleni. Wrth geisio paratoi ar gyfer tymor newydd gobeithiwn barhau â’r ddarpariaeth bresennol ac ehangu hyd yn oed fwyfwy ar brofiadau addysgol y plant a pherthynas y Cylch a’r gymuned, yn enwedig wrth i ni gynllunio i symud lleoliad y Cylch i dir yr ysgol.

*Bydd copi o’r adroddiad yn cael ei anfon i AGC a bydd copi yn cael ei gadw ar Gdrive y Cylch Meithrin a Chriw Eirys. Bydd croeso i unrhyw riant neu aelod o staff y Mudiad Meithrin dderbyn copi. Bydd yr adroddiad yn cael ei gyflwyno yn y Pwyllgor Blynyddol.

Llawer o ddiolch ichi am eich cydweithrediad a’ch cefnogaeth ar hyd y flwyddyn.

Basis of the Independent Examiners Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
