Nursery World - State-of-art unit promotes Welsh

Work began last week on a state-of-the-art early years centre in mid-Wales that will include two separate day nurseries, training facilities and the new headquarters of the Welsh-medium playgroup association Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin (MYM). The Welsh-medium nursery schools organisation centre in Aberystwyth, due to open next year, will be one of the county of Ceredigion's integrated centres. It will provide education, wraparound childcare, training and development for childcare professionals, and open-access play for children of all ages.

MYM deputy chief executive Rita Jones said, 'The ground floor will be an integrated centre for 105 children with two separate nurseries for children under two and over two, as well as before- and after-school provision.

There will also be a sensory room, playroom, creative room, music room and a sensory garden outside.

'The new integrated centre will be catering for children in the Aberystwyth area and will have a training centre for all our groups across Wales. Our national headquarters will be on the first floor.' MYM's headquarters are currently in Cardiff.
