I highly recommend Abby - she is brilliant.
Abby is the most fantastic childminder. When I moved to the area last year, all I was looking for was a childminder who would offer a safe and caring environment for my two year old. And then we found Abby who offers so much more than that! What Abby has created is more like a little pre-school than childcare.
Every day I am impressed by the activities she lines up for the kids. She has themes for each term and week, she takes them for days out and she will take the childrens' interests and build activities based around them. For example, when my daughter was in her unicorn phase Abby would use unicorns to help her count etc. When I told Abby my daughter was having trouble listening at home she added lots of listening games into their week.
As well as planned activities you can see Abby is very child-led too and has created a lovely welcoming environment full of toys for the kids to immerse themselves in.
Abby is great at communicating about your child's development and letting you know what they are enjoying learning so you can back it up at home. She uses an app called Famly to share pics throughout which is very reassuring and fun to receive.
My daughter absolutely adores Abby and all the other kids who attend. My daughter is now three years old and language (both Welsh and English) have improved dramatically as has her independence - she now loves to prepare her own snack and pour her own water. I really cannot recommend Abby enough. I feel very lucky that we found Cwtch Childcare.

Many thanks for the lovely words.Looking after your daughter is a pleasure!
Here at Cwtch we have processes and structures in place throughout the day for the children to become familiar with the school routine e.g. amser mat, amser snac, ac amser canu.
We keep busy throughout the day with various activities planned with a huge focus on child led activities and the idea of children being at the heart of all decisions at Cwtch. During the holidays the older children will look back at the Cwtch photo albums and plan what they would like to do during the next school holidays. Here at Cwtch we also ask for parent contributions with regards to themes and activities.
Here at Cwtch we plan activities to each child’s interests and hobbies as we believe that a child learns best when they are interested. Myself and the rest of the children love to learn about new themes or a new programme that a child is interested in.
The children at Cwtch are always engaged as we rotate toys and are often acquiring new resources and toys for all the children to enjoy.
