The First Minister and the Deputy First Minister of Wales have visited an integrated children’s centre in Merthyr Tydfil, highlighting the Welsh Government’s ambition to expand funded childcare for children across Wales.
Rhun ap Iorwerth and Sioned Williams met staff, children and parents at Cwm Golau Integrated Children's Centre in Pentrebach, in their first visit as leaders of the Welsh Government.
Over this Senedd term, the Welsh Government plans to phase in 20 hours of funded childcare per week, 48 weeks a year, for all children aged 9 months to 4 years old.
Welsh language provision will also be expanded, giving every child a fair opportunity to learn and enjoy Cymraeg.
