Caerau Flying Start
At Caerau Flying Start we recognise the child's right to play. Our aim is to provide access to rich, stimulating play experiences as we recognise the importance of this to healthy development, wellbeing and the society in which they live.
We aim to provide opportunities for challenge and exploration, indoors and outdoors, creating a balance between risk and the benefits.
We encourage children to lead their own play and learning, to make independent choices and to feel a sense of ownership and empowerment through their play experiences.
"Thank you to all the girls in Flying Start you have all been amazing with my child. It took him a while to settle in but he loved it in the end with you girls and I can't thank you enough."
At our Flying Start settings, we provide funded part time childcare for children aged 2-3 years old who are eligible.
They are able to access high quality provision to support learning and development through child led play, in safe, secure and welcoming environment.
We are funded by Welsh Government to offer 12.5 hours of funded childcare Monday - Friday term time only.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to create calm, nurturing, and child-centred environments where wellbeing, nature, and meaningful relationships are at the heart of our practice, and where strong partnerships with families and the wider community ensure every child receives a true Flying Start for life.
