The official opening of Llanarth’s new Cych Meithrin has taken place thanks to capital grant funding from the Welsh government to support Flying Start provision and the Childcare Offer in Ceredigion.

The new and modern Cylch Meithrin Llanarth facility, based on the Llanarth Primary School Campus, is a purpose built, modern facility for Childcare provision for two to four year olds and provides a fit-for-purpose, welcoming environment to support all the work that takes place here.

It was opened by chairman of Ceredigion County Council, Maldwyn Lewis, who also opened the new Llwyn yr Eos Integrated Children’s Centre in Penparcau, Aberystwyth.

“These centres are full of activity and bring together the local authority as well as health and third sector partners to deliver a holistic service to children and families in the area,” he said.

“We are very grateful to the Welsh Government for the funding as well as the staff that were involved in the planning and managing of this construction project.”

Both construction projects have been managed by Ceredigion County Council.

An official opening was also held for Eos Integrated Children Centre, which is located at Llwyn yr Eos School in Penparcau Aberystwyth.

The Eos Integrated Children’s Centre supports the delivery of the Welsh Government Flying Start Programme and is the base for Flying Start in Penparcau, Aberystwyth.

The new building supports the delivery of integrated working including Health Visiting; Speech and Language Therapy; Parenting Programmes and Childcare.

The Centre currently offers an array of services to children and families, including activities such as, baby massage, young parents groups, speech and language support, newborn hearing screening and Flying Start childcare.
