We will ensure every possible opportunity to learn through play, and support the framework principles of the Foundation Phase 3-7 years and Flying Start Framework.

Every opportunity will be provided for families to support the early years’ experiences of their children, and we will offer linguistic and social support for families through our provision’s activities.

• acquiring the Welsh language is of advantage to children.

To this end we will organize as many contact hours with the Welsh language as possible. 

  We will try to establish suitable provision to meet the need locally and will try to secure additional support for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

• children’s rights, in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Children’s Act  2004, are very important.

  To this end children will have the right to expect every adult, who has responsibility for them, to protect them from all kinds of abuse. We will co-operate with Local Authorities to apply the steps which have been agreed upon in cases of supposed abuse.
