With the warm pancakes was a choice of toppings including fresh lemon, banana, strawberries, blueberries, raisins and more. And maybe just a little bit of sauce as a special treat! The children were allowed to 'build' their own creations from the 'pancake station'!

Therefore, at Little Chums we will be celebrating this event on Friday 27th February instead!
If your child attends on this day, please allow them to wear traditional dress, something else that signifies Wales, or just something red!
They will also be doing lots of Welsh themed activities, games and arts/crafts. There will perhaps be a Welsh cake treat too!
The poster shown here will be on all the main doors as a reminder!
There were love hearts, banners and balloons everywhere, even the play tables were red or loved themed! The children also enjoyed a Valentine themed breakfast.
The children have been working hard all week on Valentine gifts and cards which you have probably already received.

Regardless, Toddlers decided to get outside wrapped up in their puddle suits to splash around in the puddles that never seem to dry up these days!
Exercise and plenty of fresh air is really good for you whether it's raining pouring or not!

We are proud to announce that we have managed to maintain our ‘5’ score, the top rating you can achieve! Our report states that our food hygiene and safety procedures are very good, as is our structural compliance (kitchen cleanliness, layout, condition, etc.). The inspector was 'highly confident' in our management and control procedures. We received no recommendations for improvement.
This now means we can reapply for our ‘Elite’ rating as we have scored ‘5’ on successive inspections over many years.
Well done to our cook, Alix, for maintaining such good standards and to everyone else involved in supporting her role in the kitchen.

Both Preschool and Toddlers have been making paper aeroplanes and after FINALLY there being a break in the rain, Preschool managed to get outside to try their paper planes out!
Of course, while outside they couldn't resist a quick runaround and play with the 'loose parts'.

Children in Preschool celebrated this event by making some lovely cards, which you should have received by now!

From 1st March 2021, it became illegal to smoke/vape on hospital grounds, play areas and school grounds, including day nurseries such as Little Chums.
Just recently we have seen some parents vaping in our car park and on at least one occasion at our entrance doorway.
For the health interests of all, please refrain from smoking/vaping on our premises. We do not want to embarrass either you or ourselves by having to ask in person.
Please pass on this message to all that drop-off or collect your child(ren), including Grandparents or other family members or friends.
Thank you for your cooperation.
This achievement highlights our commitment to promoting the Welsh language and creating a welcoming, bilingual environment for children.
Our Development Officer at Clybiau Plant said...
"I would also like to say how impressed I am by your dedication and the consistently high-quality evidence, planning, and commitment you have shown towards the Welsh Promise. It has been genuinely refreshing to see, and I am delighted to have you throughout this process."
We are now moving forward in March and intend to work towards the silver award.
