New children's nursery for St Clears
A new children’s nursery has been set up in Carmarthenshire, thanks to the support of the Carmarthenshire Children’s Partnership.
Dechrau Disglair Cyf, based in the former Glasfryn School building in St Clears, Carmarthen, opened in August to provide a Welsh-medium service for local children and families.
It was supported by the Children’s Partnership, which offers practical advice, guidance and even financial support to businesses looking to establish childcare facilities. The partnership has undertaken a detailed assessment of childcare facilities in Carmarthenshire.
With that knowledge, it can now help businesses identify gaps in the market and support the business start and grow.
Children’s Partnership Information Officer Amanda Toutt said: “The most recent business we have supported is Dechrau Disglair Cyf. This is a fantastic facility which is now providing a valuable service to local families.
“At the Carmarthenshire Children’s Partnership we understand that setting up a childcare business is not easy, but we are here to help and offer guidance, and even financial support.”
Owner Emma Davies said: “Through working at the local school and running after school and holiday clubs, and as a parent myself, I was very aware of the need for a local nursery, and the support and funding we’ve received has enabled us to open. After just a few weeks we have 23 children on the books and are taking on more staff.”
Anyone interested in starting such a business can contact the partnership to access helpful tips and contacts, along with information on receiving grants and training for staff. A dedicated Childcare Development Officer will provide guidance and support throughout the start-up.
