Flying Start is committed to offering an element of choice to all parents, therefore, as parents you have the choice for your child to attend childcare through the medium of Welsh, English and Bi-lingual, where possible. ||
 * How will your child benefit from attending the Flying Start Childcare? ||
 * Flying Start is committed to providing your child with a caring, stimulating environment, where they are free to grow and develop skills in a safe and secure environment. We aim to achieve this by ensuring that Flying Start settings are committed to delivering high quality care and positive learning experiences therefore, all staff are highly qualified, experienced childcare workers, who have a clear understanding of how children develop and learn.

Flying Start settings are committed to ensuring that your child is provided with opportunities for play that are appropriate for their age and stage of development. The experiences your child will have within the setting will be based upon learning through first hand experiences of discovery and experimentation therefore, working towards strengthening their independence.

The Childcare workers are understanding, inspiring and have the knowledge and skills to challenge your child’s potential for learning by capturing their interests, supporting them to build confidence and self esteem by building upon what your child already knows and can do. The play opportunities your child will receive will be invaluable to how they become self-aware, learning the rules of social behaviour, in preparation for entry into school and in the long term.

“We know that what children experience within their early years can have an impact on the rest of their lives. Therefore, we are committed to working in partnership with you, as parents to ensure that these experiences are positive and happy ones for you both”. ||
 * How can you access your free childcare place? ||
