CYLCH MEITHRIN

Cylch Meithrin may be your child’s first opportunity to attend a setting alone. The groups aim to promote the education and development of children from 2 years to School age. Children have the opportunity to be with other children and to learn through play predominantly in the Welsh Language. Some groups are open five days a week, others only on some days. When your child is given a place it is normally for a set number of days per week, which will vary depending on your needs and the spaces available. Price varies from group to group. See information on the Childcare Offer Wales below.
These groups are very popular, so make sure to contact the leader early in order to book a space for your child.
