**Cylch Meithrin**
The Cylch follows the "Foundation Phase" which is to provide a
rounded approach to education of young children indoors and
outdoors. Here are the 7 key areas which we follow:
~Language, Literacy and Communication
~Mathematics development
~Personal and Social developments
~Creative developments
~Knowledge and understanding of the world
~Physical development
~welsh Language Development
The leader plans and arranges the lessons to give the children
opportunities to explore the world around them and understand
how things work by taking part in practical activities such as
stories, games, songs, imaginative play and participating in
celebrations. Our sessions are open to children from the age of 2
to preschool age.
We have the assistance of a supporting education officer from the
local authority.
**Meithrin Mwy**
We offer a care service for the children who attend the school's
nursery class in the morning. The children can stay a further two
hours 15 minutes from 10.45am to 1.00pm to socialize and learn.
Our ethos is centred on the 'Foundation Phase' where Ianguage
development is nurtured by playing games, reading stories,
learning rhymes and songs. In the child's pre-school year we aim
to provide a fuller nursery education to develop the necessary skills
to start reading, writing and develop number recognition.
**Wrap Around**
A Wrap Around Service is offered to parents of Children that attend
the Meithrin Class at the School. The Wrap Around Service
provides high quality childcare from 10:45am- 3:30pm. Wrap
Around spaces are limited to 5 spaces to ensure that the Cylch
provide adequate spaces for the Cylch Meithrin.
We hold a myriad of social fundraising events and have held the
following events;
•
Picnic with Peppa Pinc
•
Helibalw - Baby rave with a festival feel aimed at young
children.

Section D
Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity**
## **Increasing number of children attending during the year Cylch Meithrin sessions:**
To ensure the future viability of the Charity the Committee recognised that we needed to increase the Children numbers attending sessions increased throughout the year. The Committee have also decided to expand the provision available for parents and offer limited spaces for "wrap around care" thus filling a gap in the local community for full day care sessions. Children attending the Nursery Class at the Primary School are now able to attend the Cylch Meithrin from 10.45am until 3:30pm. We have registered as full day provider with CIW. This fulfils a number of objectives such as responding to parents' feedback on the need for "wrap around care"; should increase the numbers of children attending the Cylch Meithrin and Meithrin Mwy sessions. To achieve this, we promoted the provision via social media, held a registration day during August so that parents were able to register their child at the Cylch Meithrin for the next academic year.
The Committee have also decided to expand the provision available for parents and offer limited spaces for "wrap around care" thus filling a gap in the local community for full day care sessions. Children attending the Nursery Class at the Primary School are now able to attend the Cylch Meithrin from 10.45am until 3:30pm. We have registered as full day provider with CIW. This fulfils a number of objectives such as responding to parents' feedback on the need for "wrap around care"; should increase the numbers of children attending Cylch Meithrin sessions and will also bring in an additional funding source that will assist the charity in being more financially viable long-term.
## **Fundraising target:**
As a Committee, we set a an annual fundraising target to achieve during the financial period.
The income will be invested back into the charity to develop the outside play areas for the children, further enhancing the learning opportunities and experienced of the pre-school age children who attend the Cylch Meithrin. The outside play area will also be shared with the Primary School so as to further the benefit of the new resource.
## **Welsh Language:**
We have achieved our aims to promote the Welsh Ianguage by providing a valuable Welsh medium service to users. Some of the children who attend our sessions come from non welsh speaking families. They are introduced and encouraged to speak the language which the transition to a welsh speaking school easier for them.

## **Parent and Children customer satisfaction:**
We take great care to ensure that we consult our users and benefactors and gather feedback for the service. An annual Quality of Care report is produced whereby Parents and Children are asked their views on the provision. Please find below some of the comments received from parents:
“The Cylch allows the children to play and learn in the medium of Welsh and create new friendships” Parent
“My daughter has made so much progress since school and the Cylch sessions. She’s always singing the songs that she’s learnt and seems very confident. Also we have the social media posts” Parent
“Caring, nurturing environment where my son can play and learn together with other children. He loves Cylch” Parent
“Nice to see pictures on FB of activities done – seems like a lot of activities are completed in the short time of a Cylch session. My child is happy to go there” Parent
