Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids Clubs, Twyn Out of School Club, Afterschool and Holiday Club

Twyn Out of School Club has been a member of Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids’ Clubs from when the Club first began and we supported the Club to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in 2018. The Club Manager  reached out to Clybiau Plant Cymru Kid’s Clubs Childcare Business Development Officer for support with opening their Holiday Club given the difficulties surrounding Covid 19.

We discussed how to implement protective measures, creating bubbles, what activities they could still do with the children while continuing to be Covid secure. We also looked at all measures for infection control, record keeping and risk assessments. We forwarded all of the template resources that Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids’ Clubs had produced including Playworking after Covid 19. This allowed the Club to look at what they could do to ensure the children still had enriching play opportunities while maintaining high standards of infectious control and following the Protective Measures Guidance.

The club has provided regular positive updates since re-opening:
I have to say Becky in all honesty you, Clare, Janine and other Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids’ Clubs staff have gone the extra mile to support my club as I am sure you have done with others. You ladies have been my life line and always on the end of the line to help and give support when needed during this difficult time. Giving help and advice when needed.

I feel I have pushed you all to your limits nagging you for help and info when needed and every time you have come through. We have been with Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids’ Clubs right from the word go. They also helped me get funding to set up our successful Holiday Club about 15 years ago and have always there to support us when needed.

I cannot thank you all enough especially during this Covid 19 pandemic for your support. Thank you for everything

The Holiday Club has also received fantastic feedback from the parents:

Thank you for making it such a safe and fun environment for the children. Child A absolutely loved it and will hopefully come back in the October half term x

Thank you, ladies, Child B has had so much fun over the summer and knowing he is there safe and happy puts my mind at ease. Looking forward to Out of School Club. Thank you all x

When the Childcare Provider Grant was announced at the end of August, the Club Manager attended our support webinar whereby she raised an issue with the online application provided by her Local Authority. An immediate solution was provided and this was reported to the Local Authority who happily rectified the issue. We continue to support Twyn with any queries that they may have.
