Key worker system
One familiar face for every child
Every child at the nursery has a named Key Worker who settles them in, records their progress and keeps parents in the loop week by week.
- Staff make every effort to settle a child into the routine of the session quickly, as this can be very stressful for both child and parent
- Supporting a parent with the separation can be as important as supporting the child
- Each child has a Key Worker who writes their weekly Link Book and Learning Journey diary, so parents can read what their child has been doing that week
- Key Workers write observations, carry out assessments and complete reports to parents
- The Key Worker shares profiles and assessments with the Key Worker the child will move on to in the 3+ group
Flying Start additional requirements including Elkan, Learning Language and Loving It, Wellcomm and the Solihull Approach are all used to support children. Our work is inspected by Estyn and Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW / AGC).
System Gweithwyr Allweddol
Mae gan bob plentyn Weithiwr Allweddol sy'n ysgrifennu eu dyddiadur Llyfr Cyswllt wythnosol, Taith Dysgu lle gall rhiant ddarllen yr hyn y mae ei blentyn wedi bod yn ei wneud yr wythnos honno. Gall cefnogi rhiant gyda'r gwahaniad fod mor bwysig â chefnogi'r plentyn.
Funded educational sessions
3+ Educational funding group
Children move to this group the term that follows their 3rd birthday. So, there is an intake to this group in September, in January and after the Easter break. A child can spend 3, 4 or 5 terms in this group depending on when their birthday falls.
Many of the children can then access the Childcare Offer for Wales, 20 hours per week. This funding is for working families and those in full time further education. Or parents pay for the rest of the day, so children can stay for the whole day finishing at 3.15pm.
In this group, children often form their first proper friendships and find themselves in a peer group of friends to move on to full time school, which occurs in September each year.

Our youngest room
2 year old group
This is the group of children not yet eligible for 3+ educational funding and is, for most of our children, the first group they have joined where they are away from their parent. Children access these sessions either through being eligible for Flying Start funding or paying for the sessions.
The 2+ and 3+ children have dedicated early years rooms and their own outside playgrounds. As a Welsh medium setting all activities are delivered through the medium of Welsh in an age appropriate manner to best engage with the children, and using the Incredible Years approach throughout. You can read more about how our curriculum works on the about page.

Every session, every day
What a session looks like
Whichever group your child is in, the day is built around play. Children grow potatoes and vegetables in the outdoor area, use the woodwork bench, cook up mixtures in the mud kitchen, join in with crafts, yoga, bug hunting and music, and use inside role play areas that change periodically.
During the session children are offered a healthy snack and drink as part of the Welsh Government Healthy Pre-school Scheme. Our staff to child ratio is 1 adult to 4 children for 2 to 3 year olds, and 1 adult to 8 children for 3 to 4 year olds. We are registered for up to 24 children at a session.
