Gwdihŵs Nursery
Gwdihŵs would like to welcome you and your child/children
Gwdihws aims to provide a happy, healthy and safe environment where children can have fun and learn through play. There’s a warm and caring atmosphere in which children, staff and parents can all feel welcome and secure.
As a not for profit organisation we aim to charge affordable fees and to breakeven at the end of each year. We also recognise the value of our staff and pay reasonable rates of pay and provide very good terms and conditions of employment.
At Gwdihŵs we offer full or part time childcare from birth to four years as well as sessions of Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin. The Nursery is made up of different sections each one suitable for the age group using it. We encourage parents to visit with their child / ren prior to the child / ren starting at the nursery as often as is possible. We can cater for 30 children. Please note that babies are welcome from birth but please note that they would not have received their rountine imms until they are 8 weeks old.
At Gwdihŵs we also have a school collection service.
For children over 3 and in full or part time school we have an After School Club five days a week, and a school collection service is in operation for this group at 3.00 p.m.
During the holidays we run a Play Scheme for children aged between 3-11 years. Again if they are in full time school they will be welcome on the Play scheme. As an introducing to the Play scheme the term before they start school full time we offer settling in days.
Gwdihws Nursery is a purpose built nursery which first opened in 1996 and is based in the grounds of University of Wales : Trinity Saint David. As well as spacious indoor facility which is segregated into various sections for the different age groups and activities we have a nicely equipped garden and play area, which is also sectioned according to age groups.
We actively encourage play in the outdoors in all weathers, as long as the children are suitably clothed, and we take advantage of the wonderful grounds of the campus to take the children on walks whenever possible.
At Gwdihws the children will engage in a wide variety of stimulating and educational activities, both indoor and outside, which enables progress in all areas of their development whilst paying attention to their individual needs.
Lampeter is a predominantly Welsh speaking area and Gwdihws lays great emphasis on the use of both the Welsh and English languages in its activities. Gwdihws is also a member of Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin the Welsh medium nursery group and runs dedicated Mudiad sessions between 9.00 – 11.30 a.m. Monday to Friday. Most of the staff are fluent Welsh speakers and they can support and assist your child effectively in a natural manner in any language led activities. For the last few years we have achieved M.Y.M. Cylch Rhagorol (Group of Excellence) award, ESTYN and also we are inspected by CSSIW annually. Inspection reports are available to view online at www.cssiw.wales.gov.uk
Gwdihws welcomes children with special educational needs and we liaise closely with parents and the Social Services to ensure that the needs of the child are met to the best of our ability.
At Gwdihws we have full and part time staff, nearly all which are qualified in childcare and have undergone the necessary training in other areas such as First Aid, Child Protection, Food Hygiene all of which are required by CSSIW. All staff are CRB cleared.
