Parents have rated Meithrinfa Twts Tywi Nursery as one of the Top 20 nurseries, out of 386 early years settings in Wales.

The top twenty nurseries in Wales received an award from the leading day nurseries reviews site, daynurseries.co.uk, with the award based on the nursery’s reviews from the children’s families and carers. The nurseries were rated on overall standard, facilities and outside space, learning, resources and equipment and ICT, care, activities, staff, food and nutrition, management, cleanliness, safeguarding as well as value for money.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said:“We would like to congratulate Meithrinfa Twts Tywi Nursery on being rated by parents as a top nursery in Wales! Being chosen as one of the best nurseries by family and carers of children that attend the setting is a huge achievement.

“Reviews of the Top 20 nurseries show these settings offer children stimulating and nurturing environments, which boosts their social and emotional wellbeing and enhances their learning.

“A child’s brain goes through huge changes in the first five years and these formative years impact on their whole life, which is why we celebrate those nurseries, which play an essential role in educating and caring for children.”

Caryl Thomas, Owner and Manager of Meithrinfa Twts Tywi Nursery said:“We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded one of the Top Nurseries in Wales again this year.
