Parent and Toddler Groups

PARENT AND TODDLER GROUPS/CYLCHOEDD TI A F

Parent and Toddler Groups cater mainly for children under 2 years. Parents/carers stay with their children, so groups do not have to register with CSIW. The sessions mean that parents and children can mix with others and enjoy a variety of different activities.

Cylchoedd Ti a Fi enable parents and carers to play alongside their children and socialise in an informal Welsh setting. Non-Welsh speaking parents can learn Welsh with their children, enjoying basic stories, songs and nursery rhymes as well as simple phrases to use at home.

They are mainly for children aged under 2½ years old and provide a happy, safe and stimulating environment for children to meet, socialise and play. The parent/carer must stay with the child throughout the session. They do not need to be registered with the Care Standards Inspectorate Wales

Qualifications:

These groups are run by parents; therefore the qualifications are 'being a parent!'

Fees:

There is usually a minimual set cost (approx.£1.50-£2) to cover the fee of the building. Other costs may include a contribution to tea and coffee etc.
