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 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 on 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
