| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | This report covers the first 7 months of the cylch’s opening. By opening Cylch Meithrin Pont Pedr we have provided a setting for children to be immersed in the Welsh language, which for many children would not have otherwise happened before starting school. As we are based in the primary school campus, we have established a very close relationship to the school and have been able to use some facilities such as the school hall, allowing us to offer activities like our Christmas party. We are very grateful to be able to work so closely with the school. This has enabled an easier transition to primary school for our children. Especially those with additional needs. As we are based in the school we have also been able to offer ‘wraparound’ childcare for working parents. In this period we employed 5 members of staff |
