Welsh Language Development

The Foundation Phase will be introduced to the children at the nursery through the medium of both Welsh and English. Children will appreciate the different languages, images, objects, sounds and tastes that are integral in Wales today and gain a sense of belonging to Wales, and understand the Welsh heritage, literature and arts as well as the language. Ffrindiau’r Wyddor has been introduced which is a way of learning the Welsh alphabet through singing.

Children will learn to use and communicate in Welsh to the best of their ability and will listen to Welsh being spoken and be encouraged to communicate their needs in Welsh. The children’s oral experiences will be used to develop their reading skills and they will be encouraged to choose and use Welsh reading materials. The nursery is a member of Mudiad Meithrin and attends many of their events. Camau Cerdd have recently delivered a series of sessions at the nursery through the medium of Welsh. The nursery works closely with the two local Welsh schools and transport the older children to and from these schools.

I can’t honestly think of a better setting, both my children have attended Corwen Day Nursery and have enjoyed every single day. The care from the outset is superb, both mine started at a young age and I felt reassured that they were receiving the best care, the baby team followed my feeding schedule, sleep routine and massively helped with the weaning process, I doubt that both of mine would be such good eaters without the amazing variety of home cooked nutritious meals provided. The team have supported and nurtured their development, and both came on leaps and bounds because of this outstanding level of care and early years development & education. The team are constantly improving on their training and the curiosity approach is just one example of this, both mine love learning, and they are supported through the vast array of activities that the nursery provides. They have supported us through SALT and as a result my youngest has come on leaps and bounds with his speech.  We are so lucky to have this provision on the doorstep in Corwen, and I know both my children had the best start due to the care provided here.
