chances for the children in our care. We serve
an area in Cardiff that includes some
disadvantaged children. We do this in several
ways including by introducing the Welsh
language to children who come from non
Welsh speaking families. We know that giving
these children the advantage of being bilingual
will greatly increase their chances of
employment when they later become adults
and that introducing a new language during
the preschool years is the most effective
method of introduction. We also work closely
with the Local Authority to ensure staff attend
training courses that upskill our staff to provide
high quality provision enabling us to put early
interventions in place for individual children.
We assess and plan our activities so that we
can identify areas of need and put in place
preventative work to support the children’s
progress. We provide individual support for
targeted children who are referred to us by the
Local Authority.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
