Early Years Setting
Our Early Years Setting is based at our Heol Persondy site, with spacious outdoor learning areas. It comprises of Nursery and Reception, with new Pre-Nursery children welcomed in January and April (following the child's 3rd birthday).
We love exploring our muddy kitchen, listening to stories in the willow tree den, growing our own fruits and vegetables, and toasting marshmallows on the fire. In October 2023, we opened 'Castell Logan' which is our uniquely designed wooden role play area.
Dosbarth Afan - Nursery
Nursery is run alongside Reception, with children working on a carousel of activities throughout the day. We promote learners to be independent and take ownership of their learning.
We also run a part-time nursery from January to the end of the school year, for children who turn 3 mid-way through the year. Children turning 3 between September and December are welcomed to our pre-nursery in January. Children turning 3 from January to the end of March are welcomed to pre-nursery in April.
Applications can be completed on the BCBC website. Click here for more information.
