We are a Welsh-medium preschool childcare setting based in Ysgol Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd. We have places for children aged 2.5 to school age. We open 4 mornings per week (Monday-Thursday) during term-time and offer a caring childcare setting with indoor and outdoor spaces.

We follow the Curriculum for Wales and aspire to create a positive learning environment, supporting children to become ambitious learners, creative contributors and healthy and confident individuals! If your child is aged 3 or 4 you can use their early education or childcare offer hours to pay for sessions.

Get in touch or come in to see us to find out more.

Activities: 

We follow the Curriculum for Wales, supporting children to become:

  1. Ambitious, capable learners who are ready to learn throughout their lives.

  2. Enterprising, creative contributors who are ready to play a full part in life and work.

  3. Ethical, informed citizens who are ready to be citizens of Wales and the World.

  4. Healthy, confident individuals who are ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

Every child is an individual and we will be working towards the four purposes by introducing five developmental pathways : Belonging, Communication, Exploration, Physical Development and Well-being.

Staff introduce the curriculum to the children by preparing experiences which are fun and challenging. We have an ‘open door policy’ – the Cylch leader is happy discuss your child’s development and needs with you.
