A WELSH-MEDIUM nursery in Pontypool has been recognised at a virtual awards ceremony for nurseries in Wales.
Ysgol Feithrin Pontypool was named as the best Cylch Meithrin (nursery) in south east Wales at the Mudiad Meithrin’s virtual awards on Saturday, October 24.
And, to add to their success, the nursery was then named the best Cylch Meithrin throughout Wales.

“We are also very grateful to Mudiad Meithrin for their continuing support during these uncertain times.

“We work in partnership with schools, local amenities and organisations in the community.”
Dr Gwenllian Lansdown Davies, Mudiad Meithrin’s chief executive, said: “The awards ceremony gives Mudiad Meithrin an opportunity to recognise and thank the staff and volunteers at grassroots level.
“It was wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate the good practice that is happening across Wales.”
