I can&#8217;t believe how quickly time is passing by. It only feels like yesterday we were singing our Christmas and Easter concerts!<\/p>\n<p>We were lucky enough to obtain a large grant to extend our garden in the Spring term. This was given by the Early Years Grants panel at the Vale of Glamorgan. We now have a large safe space in which to plan and play, which also benefits the Village Hall.<\/p>\n<p>We have been planting our outside space planters in the garden and the planters at the front of the Village Hall, to make the front a little attractive as you approach the front doors. However, we would now like to incorporate more fun play in the garden to enhance this. If there is anyone out there who can supply some spare guttering, to make water play walls, using wooden pallets already donated, then please let us know by emailing us and we will collect.<\/p>\n<p>The group closes on Friday 19th July at 1pm for the Summer holidays and will re-open on Tuesday 3rd September for a stay and play from 9:15am until 11:45am. We will also be taking contracts for those who wish to join us up until April 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Our children will return on Wednesday 4th September from 9am, when we will operate mornings only for the remainder of the week.<\/p>\n<p>Our full services resume with the afternoon and all day care from Monday 9th September at 9am.<\/p>\n<p>If you would be interested in our wrap around care to Gwenfo Nursery in September, then please email your interest. Although closed through the holidays, I will be popping in and out of email to check on messages.<\/p>\n<p>Please view our website, www.wenvoeplaygroup. co.uk where you will find useful information and our photo gallery of the children at play over the past year. You will also find links to the 30 Hour Childcare Offer and Tax Free Child Care Offer on our site.<\/p>\n<p>Many children (the term after their 3rd Birthday) are attending 17.5 hours a week funded by; The Childcare offer for Wales at the Playgroup. For further information contact the Childcare offer for Wales helpline to get up to 30 Hours funded childcare Tel: 03000 628628<\/p>\n<p>Many families are setting up Tax Free Child Care accounts to pay their fees. This is where you can set up an account and pay money in and the Government will contribute. For example; for every \u00a38 you put in, the Government will pay in \u00a32. Many children under 3 are paying for their fees this way and many families who take up the Childcare offer for 30 hours<\/p>\n<p>of funded care, may pay any extra fees such as transition or top up fees outside of the funded hours.<\/p>\n<p>The Vale of Glamorgan Family Information Service is most helpful with information on the above;. Call: 01446704704 or email fis@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk for further information.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to our Committee for their support over the past year and to the staff who make the Playgroup the safe, welcoming place it is.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all those who have supported the Playgroup by attending the events and donating your valuable time from the community.
